The research focused on analysing the Entrepreneurial behaviour and socio-economic analysis of mushroom growers in Haryana. The present study also analyzes the correlation between socio-personal characteristics with entrepreneurial behaviour. The present study was carried out in the two districts of Haryana, specifically Kurukshetra and Karnal. Three blocks from each district, a total of six blocks were selected purposively. This research focuses on understanding the relationship between socio-personal variables and entrepreneurial attributes among 60 mushroom growers. The study highlights that parental occupation, economic motivation, and level of social participation significantly influence the growers category. Achievement motivation exhibited a positive association with education, training, social engagement, and scientific orientation, whereas age had a negative correlation. Risk preference exhibited a positive relation with age but was negatively correlated with education and social participation. Decision-making ability was strengthened by training, social participation, and economic motivation, while age had a negative effect. Moreover, the use of online platforms was closely linked to the level of mushroom cultivation. The findings emphasize that education, social participation and motivation are crucial in shaping the entrepreneurial behaviour, strengthening decision-making abilities, and adoption of new technologies.
