Abstract :

Predominantly, Indian economy is heavily dependent on Agriculture and other allied activities. Agriculture sector is providing foodstuff to all sections of the people in India and outside India. This sector is not only fulfilling the food needs of the country but also providing employment in larger proportions, supply of agriculture produce to the industry as input, earning of foreign exchange by exporting the surplus produce and keeping the ecological balance. Prior to independence and even after independence also this sector has not given importance by the planners of India, but, aftermath of green revolution this sector has prioritised and widely recognised as prime sector. Further, after globalization, this sector has forced to be oriented in a commercial way. The reasons may vary and vast. Agriculture is no longer as a livelihood activity. Off late, farming is highly risk–beå activity. When risks are associated with the agricultural activity, enterprising nature come up to surface in the agriculture and allied sectors. Keeping in view of all these aspects, the authors made an attempt through this paper– the orientation of entrepreneurship to agricultural activities in India and discussed the prospects of agricultural entrepreneurship in the VUCA world.
