“…Scientific Orientation: Higher scientific orientation was exhibited by the majority of entrepreneurs of highland and midland (61.25% and 63.75% respectively); while majority were in medium category in the lowland (62.50%) according to Table 9.

The study was conducted in Kerala state to comprehend the information sourcing and managing behavior of dairy entrepreneurs; by examining the frequency of contact with the information sources, available sources of training, ICT utilization, market orientation and scientific orientation. The data was collected by survey using a structured schedule and the results were exhibited in tables. The overall frequency of contact was found to be medium for majority of the dairy entrepreneurs; the results exhibiting a similar trend also in market orientation. The preferred training centers by most of the entrepreneurs were dairy cooperatives due to their proximity and flexibility. The modern day information tools like android mobiles and television were the preferred ICT sources. Scientific orientation was higher for majority of the dairy entrepreneurs signifying an encouraging impact of the information management. The multiple linear regression model showed that while experience was negatively correlated; annual income, overall frequency of contact and market orientation were positively correlated and significant with scientific orientation. Among the three geographic regions, highland entrepreneurs had high scientific orientation. Nevertheless, overall results suggest the need for extension support and training interventions to improve the information sourcing and managing behavior of dairy entrepreneurs of the state.

The investigation was conducted in Nainital district of Uttarakhand to know the entrepreneurial behaviour of dairy farm women. A sample of total 120 respondents was selected from the five selected villages and pre-tested interview schedule was used for the data collection. Statistical techniques such as frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of correlation and t-test were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the respondents (72.5%) belonged to middle age category, 30.83 per cent had education up to high school, 69.17 per cent had medium family size, 59.16 per cent had medium dairy experience, 52.5 per cent respondents had medium herd size and milk production, 72.50 per cent had medium level of monthly income from dairy farming, 37.5 per cent had small land holding (1-2 hectares), 75 per cent had medium economic motivation and 77.5 per cent had medium scientific orientation. The study revealed that majority of the respondents (62.5%) had medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour with medium innovativeness (46.67%), achievement motivation (57.5%), decision making ability (70%), risk orientation (50%), coordinating ability (67.5%), planning ability (59.17%), information seeking behaviour (73.33%), cosmopoliteness (82.5%) and self-confidence (56.67%). It could be observed that family size, herd size, milk production, monthly income from dairy farming, land holding, economic motivation and scientific orientation showed positive and significant relationship with entrepreneurial behaviour at 1% level of significance, whereas education and dairy experience were positively and significantly related to entrepreneurial behaviour at 5% level of significance. On the other hand, age had positive and non-significant relationship with entrepreneurial behaviour of dairy farm women.
