ABOUT THE BOOK

In the current scenario, Entrepreneurship is the key to the economic development of a country. Entrepreneurial development is essential for industrialization, generating employment and poverty alleviation. Entrepreneurship is a strategy and can be developed through planned efforts. The book is targeted at under – graduate students of AGRICULTURE and allied branches and reflects my understanding of the requirements of students. The book offers conceptual clarity, in depth coverage and the Indian context with its emphasis on a student-friendly approach and an attempt to demystifying the ‘tough’ subject.

Entrepreneurship Development is a practice meant to improve entrepreneurial skills among people. In other words, it is the inculcation, advancement, and grooming of entrepreneurial skills into a person needed to establish and successfully run an enterprise.

This book is planned to serve as a textbook at undergraduate level for students of agriculture and allied subjects such as horticulture, home science, animal sciences etc. This could also be used as reference book by students at postgraduate level in agricultural universities in particular and non-agricultural universities in general. Further it may act as a guide to functional entrepreneurs to inculcate in them the good qualities required for successful entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship Development provides people the required encouragement and business skill to help them establish a successful business. It is all about building a business from zero by coming up with new ideas and turning those ideas into a profitable business.

This course provides the students with an in-depth understanding of key concepts in entrepreneurship and business development. The course addresses the theories and techniques applied to business development – new business formation (measuring start-up activity, new entrepreneurs and social networks), business growth and sustainability.
