The Agriclinics and Agribusiness Centres (ACABC) is an innovative scheme implemented in India which
tries to
transform unemployed agricultural graduates as agripreneurs through entrepreneurship development tra
ining and
appropriate financial support in order to extend broad-based extension services to the peasant commu
nity. Though,
over 15000 agricultural graduates are trained in this scheme, the success rate of establishment of a
gribusiness
ventures by the trained graduates is only 35%. This fact necessitates identifying critical success f
actors (CSF) of
successfully established agribusiness ventures and inculcating such CSF in the mindset of interested
graduates
through appropriate training. Keeping this in view, a study conducted by National Academy of Agricul
tural Research
Management (NAARM), delineated 14 CSF through a pilot study in the first step and standardized and p
rioritized
through a questionnaire survey among successful agripreneurs (87) by rank-based quotient (RBQ) analy
sis. The
results of this study not only provide pointers for nodal training institutes (NTIs) to redesign the
training programmes
but also ideas for promoting entrepreneurship in agriculture. This paper also presents the details a
bout the success
stories of three agripreneurs that were documented during the pilot survey, which would serve as str
ong business
lessons for the agricultural graduates who dream to become successful agripreneurs.
