“…There are many policies, which can be developed for women driven sustainable businesses, ranging from financial support and investment policies to area-based initiatives to inspire and facilitate entrepreneurial culture. Similar to the results of this study, Roy and Mukhopadhyay (2019) finds that innovation enhancing and female-friendly capacity-building programmes for skill development are needed to encourage entrepreneurship. Das and Dash (2016) argues that flow of gains of innovations and inventions towards entrepreneurs helps entrepreneurship.…”

Self-help groups (SHGs) are set up by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) with the objective of supporting poor people of India to set up micro enterprises. However, it is not at all easy to become an entrepreneur. The empirical observation shows that while some members of SHGs succeed in becoming entrepreneurs, other continue to remain just members. This article tries to identify the factors that help this entrepreneurship. It first develops a theoretical model and then carries out an empirical exercise with the help of ground-level surveys of SHGs in several districts of West Bengal. This empirical exercise with the help of logistic regression finds out that state help, financial access and existence of marketing opportunity are necessary for entrepreneurial success. Contrary to the general belief, more years of education does not help entrepreneurship. More revealing is the finding that protective social support deters entrepreneurship.

“…e lease cost is substantially lower than conventional debt, making it more straightforward for smaller and local producers to pay. Producers may negotiate more credit facilities and make fewer payments through leasing [44][45][46][47]. Leasing enables farmers to experiment with technology without buying it first.…”

Several industries have recently seen the replacement of human labor by automated machinery and equipment. Across the globe, farmers’ attitudes on the use of technology in agriculture are divergent. However, although some people are excited and ready to embrace technology, others are cautious and wary of trying new technologies for the first time. The third category is particularly prevalent in underdeveloped nations such as India, owing to a lack of competence, a lack of effective translation, and most crucially, a lack of financial resources. It is fruitless for the government to attempt to resolve these difficulties due to the fact that they do not take into consideration the changing circumstances and input needs of each agricultural group. Smart Tillage is a cutting-edge framework that was developed to solve the challenges listed above. In India, a decision-based smart engine for the rental and sharing of tools and equipment has been developed, which leverages machine learning methods to proceed towards a selection of tools and equipment. The option is entirely reliant on a variety of input variables, including crop kind, harvest time/month, crop equipment needed, harvest type, and the amount of money available for rental. Additionally, an ideal recommendation engine driven by content and collaborative-based filtering will provide the farmer’s requirements depending on their requirements. In terms of escalation, the proposals would be cost-effective and excellent since they would need little changes in training, technique improvements, and resource management via a new rent-share model similar to that used by Uber. In this work, demand and supply algorithms are used to define market equilibrium, and the results are shown in graphs. This includes discussion of a variety of demand and supply parameters, their impact on market equilibrium prices and quantities, and their effect on shifting demand and supply curves. The many sorts of elasticities (demand, cross-price, supply, income, and so on) are examined, as well as the ramifications for pricing systems that may result from these elasticities.

The Impact of Transformational Changes on the Socio-Economic Conditions of the Rural Population. An Example of Poland

The aim of the article is to show that in rural areas, with particular emphasis on former state-owned farms, which were created as a result of changes in the forms of land ownership, mainly in Central and Eastern European countries, the economic situation of households is still worse than in the areas where there were no State Agricultural Enterprises (PGR). Research in Poland served as a case study. Selected methods of descriptive statistics and multivariate comparative analysis were used in the analyses. The results presented in the study at different levels of aggregation (voivodeships, poviats, and communes) allowed the identification of the regularities in the situation of rural areas. Among the beneficiaries of social assistance, most of the people live in rural areas and have a high unemployment rate; the problem of unemployment especially concerns those areas where the rural population with lower education levels predominates. Moreover, in former state-owned farms, the total disposable income per person is lower than in other areas, and the funds from the government program “Rodzina 500+” constitute a significant contribution to household budgets.
