Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
An entrepreneurial economy, whether on the national, regional or community level, differs significantly from a non-entrepreneurial economy in many respects, not only by its economic structure and its economic vigorousness, but also by the social vitality and quality of life which it offers with a consequent attractiveness to people. Present study was carried out in Valsad and Dang districts of southern part of Gujarat state. The selected talukas from the Valsad district were Dharampur and Kaparada, while from the Dang district, Waghai and Subirtalukas were selected. From the each selected taluka, five villages were randomly selected. The 10 cashew nut growers were selected from each village which makes 200 cashew nut growers as respondents. A standard and reliable scale was developed to measure entrepreneurial ability. The education, social participation, economic motivation, risk orientation, scientific orientation, innovativeness, management orientation, farming experience and information input and processing behaviour found positively and highly significantly associated with entrepreneurial ability of cashew nut growers while age found negative but highly significantly correlated with entrepreneurial ability of cashew nut growers.
