- Abstract
The present study attempts to analyse the major constraints faced by the dairy farmers along the Rural-Urban interface of Bengaluru North. For the study, 90 dairy farmers were selected randomly from rural, transition and urban regions. The distinction of the three layers into rural, transition (semi-urban) and urban area was made based on the percentage of built-up area and its linear distance from the centre of Bengaluru city. Data was collected from the dairy farmers using the pre-tested schedule and analysed using Garrett's ranking technique. The unavailability of green fodder throughout the year was the major infrastructural constraint in all three transects. The high cost of fodder seeds was the major economic constraint in rural areas. The delay in the payment of milk was the major economic constraint in transition and urban regions. Inadequate access to training programmes was the major communication constraint observed in all three transects. Inadequate knowledge of diseases, their prevention and control was the major technical constraint faced by the rural farmers whereas the disposal of old / disabled cows was the major technical constraint faced by dairy farmers in transition and urban regions. Less knowledge about marketing strategies was the major marketing constraint in all three regions. Poor decision making in the management of feed and fodder was the major socio-psychological constraint in all the three regions of Bengaluru North.
