Abstract

Off-farm enterprise development in Giridih district of Jharkhand state, India needs to be considered as priority sector as rain-fed agriculture hardly provides desired return and employment opportunity to the farmers. Initiative of Krishi Vigyan Kendra located in the district to involve common farmers in mushroom production under the leadership of one progressive youth has not only brought prosperity in socio-economic condition but also infused the sense of cooperative farming to ensure equal responsibility and benefit sharing among the cooperative members. Training, input support and continuous encouragement on the part of Krishi Vigyan Kendra and marketing arrangement as well as financial support mobilized from National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development proved successful in turning 80 farm families into business-cooperative with assured income and employment opportunity.
