Entrepreneurship Development and Its Impact on Empowerment in India

Abstract

A large portion of the population relies on agriculture and allied activities as their primary source of livelihood. However, many farming families find it difficult to meet their daily financial requirements. Agricultural income is often low and unpredictable, which compels farmers to migrate in search of alternative employment opportunities. In this context, promoting entrepreneurship among farmers becomes crucial. It enables them to explore agro-based industries and small-scale business ventures. Such initiatives not only provide additional sources of income but also contribute significantly to enhancing their overall socio-economic well-being.
