| contents | <p>Agriculture sector contributes to nutrition security and acts as a steady medium of income generation. In case of horticulture crops, marginal fragmented lands are utilized which otherwise cannot be used for other demanding crops. Despite of high demands, tremendous scope and opportunities in the field, established industries are somehow limited which raises an issue of sustainability of these agripreneurs. A need emerges to classify and comprehend the training needs of agripreneurs to enhance the skill and productivity in the region. The study was conducted in Kumaon Division of Uttarakhand where Nainital and Almora districts were selected purposively. Total 70 agripreneurs were selected through snowball sampling method. A semi-structured interview schedule was used for data collection. Descriptive research design was used to meet the objectives of the study. The study showed that respondents had low level of information-seeking behavior (42.86%), medium level of innovativeness (57.14%), risk-taking ability (57.14%), and achievement motivation (60%). A whooping number of respondents hold micro-scale enterprises (97.14%). They had low levels of entrepreneurial experience (55.71) and had low institutional support (84.28%). Regarding the training needs of agripreneurs, it was found that the majority of respondents had maximum training needs in value addition and processing in mushrooms and vegetable production. Present study also revealed that there was least use of extension education methods among respondents that clearly indicated the limited contacts of agripreneurs from personal cosmopolites and extension help for which future dimensions of extension help needs to be opened in the sector.</p> |
