The present study was conducted in three blocks of Nagpur district of Maharashtra with 20 dairy farmers from each block. In a sample size of total 60 dairy farmers, assessment of the information needs of dairy farmers was conducted. Ex-post facto research design was used to access the data through personal dialogue using interview schedule. Five most important information needs of dairy farmers were breeding management, care and management, health management, feeding management and distribution and marketing.
