The problems were ranked based on the order of highest mean score obtained within each major type of problems. Among the production linked problems, ‘drastic variations in climatic conditions’ with mean score (1.84) ranked first. In consideration to market problems ‘involvement of intermediaries in marketing of farm produce’ (mean score=1.78) was ranked first. In finance linked problems, very large majority of the youth perceived ‘lack of remunerative prices for different crops’ (mean score=1.81) as a foremost problem and it was ranked first. Regarding information and communication linked problems ‘poor accessibility to different ICT tools’ (mean score=1.67) ranked first and was perceived as a prominent problem by the most of youth in farming.
