The present study was conducted on 120 women dairy farmers selected from 8 villages of Mathura district to assess the level of entrepreneurial behavior of dairy farmers. The data were collected through pre-tested structured interview schedule by holding personal interview with the dairy farmers during 2016-17. The result revealed that 36.67 per cent were primary, 30.00 per cent were middle level education, 15 per cent were illiterate, 12.5 per cent were secondary passed, 3.3 per cent were higher secondary and just 2.50 per cent were having graduate degree or above educational qualification. In case of social participation the result revealed that 62.50 per cent respondents had no social participation, 25.83 percent had participation in one organization and 11.67 percent had participation in more than one organization. Similar results were found in Lawrence and Ganguli (2012) and Patel (2013). This could be a main reason for medium to low (37.48 percent) participation in any organization. Also due to the presence of less number of self help groups and economic organizations in the study are, 36.50 percent respondents had participation with one or more organization.
