Dairying has become an important secondary source of income for millions of rural families and has assumed the most important role in providing employment and income generating opportunities particularly for marginal and women farmers. To access the socio-economic status of unorganized dairy farmers the study was carried out in Junagadh district of Gujarat state. The multistage sampling method was used for the study. Total two hundred samples were taken from randomly selected two talukas of Junagadh district of South Saurashtra region. The results of the social status indicated that the majority (62.5 per cent) of the farmers were from the middle age group, were educated up to primary level, had the nuclear type of families and agriculture and animal husbandry as the major occupation while economic status revealed that majority of unorganized dairy farmers belonged to low level of income (<253000 rupees) group and had medium size land holding. The majority (65.50 %) of the farmers used media sources of information for obtaining information about dairy farming, and had medium experience.
