AGRICULTURAL EMPLOYABILITY: A STUDY ON OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES IN AGROPRENEURSHIP IN INDIA

India is mostly a rural nation, with two thirds of the population and seventy percent of the workers living there. 46% of the nation's income is generated in the rural sector. Agriculture has always been the main economic driver and source of employment in rural areas. An key source of economic growth is seen to be the shift in the production and employment from agriculture to more productive non-farm industries. Economic research on rural India has mostly concentrated on shifts in rural employment, as aggregated by the sectors of agriculture and non-agriculture. Due to the country's excessive reliance on agriculture for employment, planning and execution of entrepreneurial initiatives are crucial. The best viable option to provide rural residents with job opportunities seems to be the growth of entrepreneurship in rural industries. Promotion of agriculture entrepreneurship is essential to making agriculture more productive and lucrative for rural residents since entrepreneurship is one of the major forces behind economic growth in any nation. The current research looks at the adoption of a new agricultural model to address basic issues in Indian agriculture, protracted changes in jobs and future opportunities in rural regions, and modern agriculture as productive and job creation. The research also examines how agricultural sector behaviour has changed recently in India. Secondary data have been taken into consideration for analysis in this study. The study's conclusions might be utilised to recommend a course of action for the Indian rural economic growth.
