摘要：Youth are the most potent segment of the population of a country. Today's youth are the hope of the future. They are the real spirit of future agriculture. Young people look not only for their own livelihood, but also for the dignity and purpose in life. It is a well-known fact that few young people engage in agriculture, although the majority of rural youth have the energy and enthusiasm to do well in agriculture and allied jobs. In this context, it is worthwhile to know the aspirations of youth in agriculture and allied activities. Keeping this in mind, a study was conducted in Warangal district in Telangana province with a total sample of 120 youth selected using a simple random sampling method. The data was collected from primary sources with structured interview schedule. The study employed descriptive statistics and rank order method to analyse the data. The study indicated that majority (41.6 per cent) of the youth belonged to high level of aspiration category followed by medium (35.0 per cent) and low (23.4 per cent). Among male youth nearly half (46.6 per cent) of the youth belonged to high level of aspiration category followed by medium (30.0 per cent) and low (23.4 per cent). Among female youth 40.0 per cent of the youth belonged to medium level of aspiration category followed by high (36.6 per cent) and low (23.4 per cent).
