abstract
The study was carried out in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur area. For the study, 200 dairy farmers were selected as a sample. According to the survey, the majority of dairy farmers showed a medium level of entrepreneurial behavior. The majority of dairy farmers had a medium degree of acceptance of scientific dairy technologies, followed by high and low, according to the extent of farmer adoption. While the remaining three variables—age, caste, and family size—did not establish any significant relationship with entrepreneurial behavior, the coefficient of correlation of each of the socio-personal characteristics of the dairy farmer—education, family annual income, livestock possession, information seeking behavior, extension contact, knowledge of dairy farmers, experience in dairy farming, land holding, occupation, scientific orientation, economic motivation, and marketing orientation—showed a positive and significant relationship with entrepreneurial behavior.
