India is one of the fast-growing economies in the world. But still, poverty remains the most prominent challenge to the economy. The MPI (multidimensional poverty index) report of NITI Aayog identified that 25.01% of the Indian population is multidimensionally poor. Agriculture has a significant role in alleviating poverty in India since more than 70% of the population lives in rural areas, and 152 million depend on the primary sector for their livelihood. But still, the agriculture scenario in India is not vibrant. According to the MPI report of NITI Aayog 2021, Bihar, Jharkhand, U.P, M.P, and Meghalaya are the poorest states in India. All these states are well diversified with agricultural resources and have a good share in national agriculture production, yet the poverty rate increases in these states. Over-dependence on traditional farming pushes the farmers deeper into poverty. So it is very imperative to transform traditional agriculture into agribusiness. Agripreneurship is a strategic solution for enhancing the productivity and profitability of the sector. Rural India has wide opportunities in organic farming, agri tourism, value addition, and output processing of agri products. Agripreneurship can uplift rural people and the Indian agriculture sector. The development of Agripreneurship also helps the economy to revive from poverty to a great extent
