The concept of an “Agripreneur” is slowly
gaining ground in the agriculture sector in the country. The term entrepreneur
is quite familiar; so is the term agriculturist. The agripreneur is one who
plays the role of an entrepreneur in the field of
agriculture.The
National Bank for Agriculture and Rural development (NABARD) is in the fore
front of pioneering this concept. Its Assistant General Manager at Madurai,
Sankar Narayan says that NABARD is actively working with farmers federations in
Usilampatti and Chellampatti to transform agriculturists into
agripreneurs.
