Six decades ago, Mahatma Gandhi observed, "Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy." The scenario is still the same now, with agriculture, which is the mainstay of the communities, supporting practically the whole economy. It accounts for around 52 per cent of the Indian population's employment and generates 16 per cent of the country's overall GDP. The rapid growth of agriculture is necessary not just for self-sufficiency but also to earn crucial foreign exchange. Despite the fact that millions of farmers are marginal and small, Indian farmers are unrivalled in terms of production and productivity. They are just as quick to accept improved agricultural technologies as farmers in rich countries. It is believed that by providing timely and enough inputs such as fertilisers, seeds, and pesticides, as well as making reasonable agricultural loans and crop insurance available, Indian farmers will secure the nation's food and nutritional security. As a result, on April 9, 2002, the ‘Agri-Clinics and Agri-Business Centres' plan was created to increase technology transfer and extension services, as well as provide self-employment opportunities to technically skilled people. Herein after, we imagined the state of Madhya Pradesh from a worm's-eye perspective, which is a view of a scheme from below, as if the observer were a worm; it can be used to make an object appear big, strong, and mighty while the viewer feels childish or helpless. So, we here go through the actual facts by covering about the scheme, NTIs, trained candidates &venture established.

Agriclinics and agribusiness centres (ACABC‟s) scheme is a subsidy based credit linked scheme launched by government of India on 9th April, 2002 for the strengthen technology transfer, public extension system and employment generation in rural areas. The present study was conducted in Rajasthan state during 2011 to 2015 and based on the primary data collected through field survey by pre tested questionnaires from 150 sample agrigraduates. The objective of study was to analyse the profile of agrigraduates on the basis of socio economic characteristics. The socio-economic profile were covered under broad categories such as socioeconomic profile of the trained agripreneurs, status of agriventure taken, status of loans obtained and approached, reasons for refusal of loan application, reasons for willingness and not willingness to take up agriventures under the scheme. The appropriate statistical techniques such as frequencies, scores and percentages were used to analyse the socio economic profile of agrigraduates under agriclinics and agribusiness centres scheme. The study results and previous literature are indicated that the most important factors influencing establishment of agribusiness units are attitude towards self-employment, better livelihood opportunities, entrepreneurial ability, motivation from successful entrepreneurs and self-confidence. Gender-related variations were also significant with regard to attitude towards self-employment, decision-making ability and information seeking behaviour. Thus, there is need to change in the attitude of agrigraduates towards self-employment, develop entrepreneurial ability and enhance self-confidence of the trainees through the training programmes.
