Agriclinics and Agribusiness Centers (ACABC) which is a subsidy based credit linked scheme for setting up agriventures by agriculture graduates launched by the government of India to strengthen the technology transfer, public extension system and employment generation in rural areas and has proved in a healthier way. Different agriventures started by agripruners under the scheme has increased awareness among farmers on scientific ways of farming. The agriclinics centers have been successful in imparting knowledge to the farmers about the new and scientific methods of farming, thus leading to an increase in the production per hectare, cropping intensity and income from allied business in agriculture. Southern region has been the forerunner by employing around 50% of the total employment generated while North East region is deficient in establishments of agriventures. There is need to make efforts by government to focus on north eastern states and on the ventures which are having untapped potential. ACABC scheme and ventures started under the same are way for attracting and retaining youth in agriculture (ARYA).
