Capacity Building for Entrepreneurship development through business incubation

Abstract

With the aim of improving its R&D system by incorporating new ways of doing business in agriculture and related fields, to achieve the objectives of increased productivity, employment generation and building a strong national economy, the ICAR has initiated a business incubation drive designed for the Indian agricultural sector to promote agribusiness, by utilizing the vast research and development facilities and knowledge available with its research institutions. The ICAR seeks to advance new approaches to accelerating the growth of innovative, technologyenabled agri business, while creating powerful demonstration cases that illustrate how engagement of farmer associations, industry, financers, and government in creating innovation and market-driven shared value can catalyze the green growth of an inclusive and job creating, competitive Agri sector.
