Graduates to get loan for setting up agriclinics

 

Patna, (Bihar Times): “A graduate who is eager to have his own Agriclinic and Agribusiness set up would get a loan of Rs. 5 Lakhs without any security requirement.”  Said Bidhanesh Mishra, Director of Agriclinic and Agribusiness Scheme in a training programme organized in Patna to help unemployed graduates.

He further stated that the RBI has issued guidelines in this regard and 20 schemes have been suggested for setting up micro enterprises.

The different schemes relate to vermi compost, seed and fertilizer business, mushroom, fishery, lemon grass. It would fetch a good amount of money in a very short period. So instead of searching jobs graduates would well become  job providers to many others in rural areas. He also said that the scheme could revolutionise the rural economy of the state. He advised  agrientrepreneurs  to grab this opportunity and change their fortune.

The scheme of Agriclinics and Agribusiness has been launched by Government of India all over the country including Bihar to tackle the problem of unemployment among agriculture graduates. The scheme is sponsored by Small Farmers Agribusiness Consortium, National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and National Institute of Agriculture Extension Management (MANAGE), Hyderabad.
