Résumé anglais
India is primarily an agricultural country where the majority population is dependent on
agriculture for livelihood but its contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is less than
the Service and Manufacturing sector. So, converging entrepreneurship with agriculture
paves the way for enhancing production and profitability in the agricultural sector of the
National economy. A farmer shall no longer be viewed only as someone holding plough and
cows and working in the farmland but as an entrepreneur who innovates, takes risks, and
drives change in the rural economy. There is a wide scope in Agripreneurship in an agrarian
country like India. However, the present paper focuses on Organic farming and Animal
Husbandry as a means of Agripreneurship to promote rural economic development. The study
is a descriptive one and is based on secondary data. The land resource of the study area
Assam, a North Eastern State, is already organic in default but organic farming is not much
popular here due to various reasons such as unawareness. However, there is a wider scope to
do large scale organic farming on a commercial basis. Animal husbandry is also a popular
venture for Agripreneurship but more awareness and Government intervention is required to
promote it on a large scale.
