Protected vegetable farming has emerged as a potential approach to improve the yield and quality of produce around the globe. The current study was carried out to investigate awareness among farmers about protected cultivation in Haryana state during 2023–24. The sampled farmers were chosen using a random sampling procedure. A total of 80 farmers were selected from two districts, namely, Hisar and Karnal. To collect the data, a well-structured interview schedule was used. Pearson’s correlation coefficient formula was used to calculate the correlation coefficient between the dependent and independent variables. It was concluded that nearly three-fifth of the respondents (56.25%) had a moderate level of awareness followed by 36.25 percent had a high level and low level (07.50%) of awareness about protected farming in Hisar and Karnal district of Haryana. Education, annual income,and under protected cultivation, mass media exposure and socio-economic were highly correlated with level of awareness.
