The task of development is so huge and complicated that just implementing government plans is not sufficient to fix the problem. To achieve this, a collaborative efforts involving various departments, agencies and NGOs is required. Owing to such a great need, rapidly the number of NGOs in India is increasing and, at present, there are about 25,000 to 30,000 active NGOs running in India.- Opportunities in Agri-Preneurship in India:Need, Challenges and Future Prospects

India’s Economy is principally dominated by Agriculture with more than 60% population dependent on agriculture. It accounts for about 14 % of Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of the country. India being predominantly agricultural, agripreneurs play very vital and important role in the agricultural value chain. They contribute significantly to increase the agricultural GDP by the process of their value addition.An overall growth rate of 7-8% may be contributing for the overall development of economy, but the very meager growth rate in agricultural sectoris challenge for rural development in India. Significant growth in manufacturing and service sectors is contributing for the better living conditions and lifestyle of urban population whereas agriculture and allied sectors are still in back foot in providing the better living conditions in rural India. As compare to urban area majority of people living in rural area are unable to creep the benefits of the developmental schemes happening in India. In keeping these imbalances in mind and to achieve balanced economic development, it becomes inevitable to promote agripreneurship for the development of rural area.References

India happens to be the second most populous country on the earth with more than 17 per centa of the World population. About 61.5 per cent of the 130 crores plus population in India is dependent on agriculture. Indian agriculture is characterized by small farm holdings. The average farm size is only 1.57 hectares. Around 93 per cent of farmers have land holdings smaller than 4 ha and they cultivate nearly 55 per cent of the arable land. On the other hand, only 1.6 per cent of the farmers have operational land holdings above 10 ha and they utilize 17.4 per cent of the total cultivated land. Due to diverse agroclimatic conditions in the country, a large number of agricultural items are produced. India is an agrarian economy, green revolution and smaller plot holdings as witnessed by the Asian countries has led to rapid forward strides being made in the agriculture in the last few years. In spite of this, India faces several challenges arising from socio-economic, demographic and institutional sectors that affect its basic survival. In India 85 per cent of the population is directly or indirectly dependent upon agriculture and a vast majority is based in the rural belt. 90 million farmers are dwelling in 6.25lakh villages producing more than 200 MT of food grains feeding the country. Considering the topography of India, in the last few years have seen the concept of rural tourism gaining momentum as an allied area of revenue generation. Realizing this government is encouraging active rural tourism in order to increase revenue generations options for the rural segment.Agri-tourism or agro-tourism involves agriculturally-based operation or activity that brings visitors to a farm or ranch. Agri-tourism includes the wide variety of activities, including buying produce direct from a farm stand, navigating a corn maze, slopping hogs, picking fruit, feeding animals, or staying at a bed and breakfast on a farm. Since 2004 Agriculture Tourism is operational, it started in Baramati Agri-Tourism Center.References
