own and run the agri related businesses such as supply of fertilizers and pesticides,

Seeds and farm implements at fixed Government rates. These ARSKs are allotted to

unemployed graduates with preference to Agricultural Science graduates hailing from

rural areas. The business model is developed such a way that, the un employed youth

services to the farmers at a single convenient location. The Agro Trade Centres areproposed to have warehouses, outlets for selling seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, farm
