The Indian Society of Agribusiness Professionals, are attempting
to create a large network of Agri-business Professionals
in India and other SAARC countries with a view to enhancing
the rural incomes in India by enabling access to appropriate
agricultural technologies and market intelligence to the
masses living in the hinterlands of India. Given the size
and spread of the Indian agricultural sector, the country
needs around 50,000 Agribusiness Clinics. This Project aims
at establishing the basic mechanism that would facilitate
establishing such Agri-clinics by motivated agricultural
graduates on self-sustainable basis. This Project will establish
the knowledge network, will identify the agri-graduate interested
in starting Agri-Clinics, will train them and will provide
the information products and services to their agri-clinics
on an ongoing basis. Thus the concept of Agribusiness clinics
becomes scalable and could expand till it reaches every
major village in the country. The population of experts
is estimated to be of the order of 5,000 and the target
is to have at least 25% on the panel within 2 years. The
professionals can be unemployed graduates, progressive farmers,
manufacturers, service providers, buyers and customers of
agricultural products and services.
