Abstract: For the farmer, the strategic function of the marketing system is to offer him a convenient outlet for his produce at remunerative price. There is an important need for the Agri-marketing initiatives to be large and organized. The present market must cover two aspects: marketing system and concrete regulation of the conduct of market. For this purpose regulated agricultural markets have been set up throughout the country. Regulated agricultural markets in India are also known as direct markets which work under district regulated market committees set up by the different state governments to sell the agricultural produce directly from seller/farmer to buyer/trader. There is no middleman in between the market transactions. The present paper tries to explore the perception of farmers with respect to functional performance and physical performance of the regulated agricultural markets. The methodology used is to correlate various variables proposed for the study and to develop a regression model for the study to know the effect of one variable on the other. The concluding results show that although there are some constraints like poor infrastructure facilities in the markets, but there is an overall positive attitude towards these social institutions developed by the farmers. Further much needs to be done by the government to make these markets strongly functional and efficient to attract more number of farmers and traders. (SHAKEEL-UL-REHMAN, M.
