Vigna radiate, a plant species, belongs to the legume family commonly known as mungbean is important not only for nutritious point of view but also economic point of view for pulse growers in India. This research, thus, concentrated on the studies on genetic variability, correlation and path analysis in mungbean (Vigna radiata (l.) wilczek) for developing high yielding variety. The estimates of genotypic coefficient of variability, heritability and genetic advance were high for seed yield per plant, 100-seed weight, number of seeds per pod, number of pods per plant and number of nodes on main stem. A positive and significant correlation was noticed with number of pods per plant, 100-seed weight, days to first picking maturity, primary branches per plant and number of pods per cluster. Path coefficient analysis is indicated that number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, number of clusters per plant had maximum direct contribution on seed yield. The analysis of variant indicates that the mean square due to treatments is highly significant for all the character at 1 % level of significant
