The Agri-Clinic & Agri-Business Centers (ACABC) program, launched by the Government of India, aims to empower farmers and promote agricultural entrepreneurship through government-sponsored refinance schemes and subsidy releases. This study explores the impact of these financial interventions on farmer empowerment and entrepreneurial skill development in the agricultural sector. The research employs a descriptive research design with a qualitative approach, utilizing secondary data from government reports, academic journals, industry reports, and case studies. The data is analyzed using thematic analysis to identify trends and patterns related to the objectives of the research. The findings reveal that the ACABC program has made significant contributions to agricultural innovation, productivity, and rural development across various states in India. The program has supported diverse projects, including agro service centers, consultancy and farm development, custom hiring services, integrated farming systems, and dairy farming units. The financial support provided through subsidies and refinance schemes has been crucial in enhancing agricultural productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. The program has also contributed to creating employment opportunities and promoting economic stability in rural areas. However, challenges remain in ensuring equitable distribution of resources and support to the most underdeveloped regions. The study concludes that the ACABC program represents a vital step towards creating a more inclusive, innovative, and sustainable agricultural sector in India, with its continued success being crucial for shaping the future of agriculture in the country.
