WELCOME TO ACAB CENTRE

The National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE), Hyderabad has designated this Krishi Vigyan Kendra to conduct the Agriclinics & Agribusiness Training Programme for the agrigraduates who have the motivation and drive to become Agripreneurs. The training is a residential programme for two months. The successful trainees are expected to start their own agribusiness ventures, get self-employed, simultaneously provide agricultural extension services at their own places and become a boss of their own.

Our Faith lies in You !

You can be one among such successful Agripreneurs ! All that you need to do be a successful Agripreneur is to believe in your capabilities. You can convert all that you have learnt in your undergraduate and postgraduate

programmes into hard cash by skillfully selling your information, your advice ideas and your suggestions to the needy farmers. You can make money by providing consultancy service to the farmers.

All of us at this Krishi Vigyan Kendra believe that you possess a great wealth of farm information, strengths, weaknesses, needs of the farming community. You have been given skills to acquire this wealth at your Agriculture College. We also believe in your innate ability to earn money by honest means. It could be primarily by involving yourself in farming or it could be working under someone for some organization or it could be establishing your own business unit and become a boss of your own.

Our Plan for You !

In order to make you a producer of jobs rather than consumer of jobs,

the Govt of India has given you an opportunity to learn and get yourself trained for the challenges to be faced as Agripreneurs ! You have to learn the concepts of Marketing Management, Small Business Management, Agribusiness Management, Project Management, Financial Management, Information Technology and more to understand the skills to manage your own agribusiness. Besides, you must meet and observe people who have taken the most courageous and risky step of freeing themselves from the entanglements of serving for organizations. The Agriclinics & Agribusiness Training Centre at this Krishi Vigyan Kendra through the Agriclinic & Agribusiness Training seeks to provide deliverance from the mind-set of serving others to achieving freedom to chart your own success by establishing your own independent business ventures.

Lectures & Practicals in the specialized area are provided as and when possible after the completion of the management syllabus.
