The objective of this study was to identify the constraints encountered by the tribes in Rangini lac (Kerria lacca) production in Chhattisgarh state. To serve this purpose total 120 respondents were taken from 2 blocks of Korba district in the year 2018-19. The pre structured interview schedule was used for the data collection. On the basis of findings constraints faced by the tribes in rangini lac (Kerria lacca) production divided into 4 categories viz., socio personal, technical, institutional and other constraints. Under socio personal constraints, maximum severity (87.22%) was found for ‘lack of knowledge regarding suitable plant part for inoculation in host tree’ and with regards to technical constraints, maximum severity (91.11%) was recorded for ‘viral infection in brood lac’. Similarly, for institutional constraints, the highest severity (88.61%) was observed in case of ‘lack of crop insurance policy for Rangini lac production’. While the other constraints face by the respondents were ‘non availability of labour at proper time’ and ‘non availability of instruments for harvesting’ with severity percentage 77.77 percent and 93.33 percent, respectively. The major suggestions given by Rangini lac producers to overcome the constraints faced by them were as follows, ‘extension agency should organize training and skill demonstration about different aspects of lac production technology at village level’ and ‘insurance of the lac crop should be provided by Govt.
