The livestock sector has a good growth potential. One of the major challenges is huge shortage of fodder, more so during drought situations and in summer. As part of fodder security policy, government of Andhra Pradesh has started Ooruraa Pasu Graasa Kshetralu (OPGK) scheme. It is felt necessary to study the influencing factors for adoption and hence the study entitled “Correlation of adoption of OPGK scheme with socio-profile characteristics of dairy farmers in Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh” was undertaken. Respondents from each of the six mandal’s of Srikakulam district formed a sample size of 120 farmers.. Correlation coefficient (r) computed showed that, age, socio-economic status, social participation, innovativeness, mass media exposure, extension contact, economic orientation, achievement motivation and risk orientation were the influencing factors for adoption of OPGK scheme.
