Abstract
Women had been playing a major role in agriculture since ages. Inspite of their crucial role in all the stages of agriculture they had not been given much credit. They were most of the times unable to access extension services and other facilities like seed, water, credit, subsidy etc. Thus government came up with the planning of Agri-Clinics & Agri-Business Centres to promote women entrepreneurs in agriculture and allied fields like poultry, fisheries, livestock etc. This study aimed to study to impact of Agri-Clinics & Agri-Business Centres in 6 states of India namely Punjab, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Bihar. The study also undertook demographic profile of respondents, problems faced by them in availing credit facility and reasons behind availing or not availing benefits from this scheme. Study also discussed the success ratio of this scheme in various states and reasons for success. This research paper would provide a way to policy makers to improve the lacunae in existing scheme and to make it accessible in other parts of the country.
