Dairy farming is a crucial component of rural economy that has the highest potential of generating income and employment through augmenting productivity of milch animals. It is one of the promising sectors for entrepreneurship development in India. Entrepreneurship has been accepted globally as affective tool for widening the entrepreneurial base for those who have poor ï¬nancial resources or managerial background. Thus, entrepreneurship development in rural area appears to be best possible alternatives to ï¬nd employment avenues for the rural population. The present investigation was confined to two milk union viz., Ganganagar and Bikaner were purposely selected for study due to reason that these milk unions had higher number of registered dairy cooperative societies (DCS) as compared to other milk unions of Rajasthan state. The present study was confined in all thirteen milk collection units of Ganganagar and Bikaner milk unions. Two dairy cooperative societies were randomly selected from each route. This way total 26 dairy cooperatives societies (DCS) were selected with a sample size of 275 respondents. The data were collected through pre-tested structured interview schedule by holding personal interview. The entrepreneurial behavior of dairy farmers was measured with respect to nine dimensions namely innovativeness, achievement motivation, decision making ability, risk orientation, co-ordination ability, planning ability, information seeking behaviour, cosmopoliteness and self-confidence. It was revealed from present investigation that majority of dairy farmers had highest entrepreneurial behaviour towards the innovativeness and decision making ability. Majority of the dairy farmers belonged to medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour, followed by low level of entrepreneurial behaviour of dairy farmers. Therefore, there is a need for providing adequate awareness and training programme for dairy farmers to help them develop into successful entrepreneur.
