Dairy farming is one of the important enterprises which dominate the economic activities of the tribal people in the rural areas of Odisha in India. Increasing demand for milk and milk products in recent years intensifies dairy farming as profitable enterprise for tribals. The tribal entrepreneurs have been confronting to several constraints in this sector which hinder their way for development. The present study was undertaken in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha in India, to find out the constraints faced by tribal entrepreneurs and to suggest suitable measures to overcome these constraints. The results revealed that the major constraints faced by tribal dairy entrepreneurs were high cost of concentrate (96.67%), lack of availability of veterinary literature in the village (79.67%). non-remunerative price for milk (100%) ,the problem of poor irrigation facilities for growing fodder crops for the livestock animals (62.50%).Various suggestions provided by the sample of tribal dairy entrepreneurs were, better milk price for the producer, availability of concentration at cheaper rate, cost of veterinary services be reduced, marketing facilities be provided at village level for the outlet of milk and milk products and provision of veterinary literature to tribal entrepreneurs.
