Abstract: The current research was carried out in the North-Eastern part of India. Assam, Meghalaya, and Tripura were chosen based on the highest milk production to examine the socio-economic status of the dairy farmer. A total of 300 dairy households were selected by implementing a multistage purposive and random sampling design to conduct a comprehensive analysis. It was found that, on average, large dairy farmers had more dairy farming experience than medium and small farmers. The scenario of a large group of dairy farmers (91.49 %) had the highest literacy rate. The average milk production of crossbred cattle was observed to be 7.02 liters and for indigenous it was 1.15 liters per day. The rainy season exhibited the highest milk productivity both in the case of crossbred and indigenous cattle.
