Agriclinics and agribusiness centre schemes is a scheme launched to bring about a revolutionary change in status of agriculture sector and persons indulged in agriculture sector. By introducing this scheme, Government of India, is trying to avail extension services to deprived persons and the sector namely agriculture sector. As we all know that, India is an agricultural economy and more than 50 percent of the population earns livelihood from agriculture sector only. Hence, to increase the income of the farmers and overall development of the economy, focus is shifted towards agriculture sector. Hence, ministry of farmer’s welfare, government of India introduced Agriclinics and Agribusiness centre scheme in 2002. The, major thrust area of the scheme is ‘conversion of agriculture graduates into agripreneurs. For this purpose, GOI, with the help of different agencies namely MANAGE, NABARD, BANKS, NODAL TRAINING INSTITUTES, STATE GOVERNMENT, AGRIPRENEURS, all are making this scheme practically possible. And it could be said that such schemes could definitely bring changes in the status of the farmers as well as agriculture graduates, thereby making them independent and self sufficient. This way they can also be linked with the flow of economic development of the country. And it can be said that with more and more awareness among rural sector people, regarding this scheme, this scheme could be made more and more successful.
