The present study aimed at identifying the constraints faced by the dairy farmers of Punjab. The study was conducted in three districts Muktsar, Mansa and Bathinda of Malwa belt of Punjab. An ex-post facto research design was chosen for the present study. The study was conducted on a sample of 120 dairy farmers comprising of 60 trained dairy farmers and 60 non trained dairy farmers randomly selected from these districts. The findings of the study revealed that lack of availability of veterinary literature in the village, heavy investment, competition from established and large units, and distant location of A.I. centers were the major constraints faced by the dairy farmers. Overall analysis of the constraints revealed that technical constraints (63.78%) and economic constraints (83.88%) were ranked first in case of both trained and untrained dairy farmers respectively. The farmers suggested that price of milk should be standardized and injections of good quality made available were the major two suggestions to order to make dairy farming more remunerative.
