Abstract

of small, medium and large dairy farmers. Majority of the dairy farmers had medium PAR awareness level,
which was found to be highly positively correlated with age and land holding of farmers. The study describe
dire need of strong extension agencies for knowledge dissemination and highlightens separate strategies to
be undertaken for improving the PAR awareness level of farmers operating different dairy units for profitability
