Abstract : Ancillary industries contribute more to country’s GDP along with core industries. The dairy industry is a facilitating industry one among the ancillary group which presently contribute more to the Indian economy. There is a continuous support from the Union government for the development of dairy-related sectors. Since it is an Agro-based industry, farmers and related employees, dairy sectors are directly or indirectly affected. The dairy farmers have to admit with various pricing techniques for the production of milk. In this study, the researcher has used a Likert type of questionnaire to know the behavioural aspects of the dairy farmers. The study aims at knowing whether training has an impact on income of skilled and unskilled dairy farmers. The researcher has collected the data from 50 respondents (i.e., 25 trained and 25 untrained) as the sample size and the technique used here is simple random technique. The researcher has used correlation for the analytical framework. In general, this study confirms that training on dairy husbandry is a key factor that brings about a change in the attitude of dairy farmers towards the effective utilization of resources that enhance the milk yield and also to generate a better income.
