ABSTRACT The word agribusiness is a challenging one and changing in the mind-set of each and every former in business practices. But, such transformation agribusiness requires huge manpower. An Inadequate manpower in public extension is one of the major bottlenecks in transfer of technologies to the door step of farmers. The Majority of the successful Agripreneurs are sons and daughters of farmers hailing from villages. In spite of family resistance, they were able to make profit and make their parents happy. This has impacted the majority mind-set which favours job. These Agripreneurs remained in villages earning respect of farmers and decent income from Agriculture. The scheme has successfully reduced the migration of rural youth from rural to urban areas. A huge network of Agriculture related institutions which focus more on teaching and research are involved now in shaping Agripreneurs. It gives tremendous change in the way institutions traditionally think and work. Agripreneurship development programmes are figuring in teaching, research and training. This paper will explore the reasons for the poor development of Agripreneurs in India, qualities of the successful Agripreneurs, scope and opportunities to the development of Agripreneurs and will disclose some of the leading and women Agripreneurs in India.
