Abstract
The study investigated Dairy Co-operative Society as an information source in solving problems of the farmers in Haldwani and Bhimtal blocks of Nainital district. The study was carried out on a sample of 80 households, out of which, 44 belonged to member category and 36 to the non-member of Dairy Co-operative Society. The results showed that members' frequency of contact with milk Co-operatives, doctors and extension agents was significantly higher than that of nonmembers in both the plains and the hills. Highest proportion of information by members in both the areas was obtained from dairy co-operatives, however it was zero in non-members. Positive role of dairy Co-operatives in information dissemination was felt more by members than non-members in both the plains and hills. Hence enhancing the non-members' participation in DCS by providing appropriate incentives could benefit them in having a greater degree of accessibility to quality information.
