Abstract


In the present context, dairy sector has potential to generate growth, diversifying income and providing widespread employment and entrepreneurial opportunities in rural areas. Efficient management of the dairy enterprise largely depends on better managerial abilities of an individual. The study was carried out in four districts of Karnataka state to compare the managerial abilities of successful and unsuccessful agripreneurs. A sample of 40 cases consisting of 20 successful and 20 unsuccessful agripreneurs was taken by applying proportionate random sampling method. The data were collected by conducting personal interview of respondents with the help of modified interview schedule. Managerial abilities were measured by executing managerial abilities index. The findings revealed that 40 percent of the successful agripreneurs had high managerial abilities level. Regardless of dairy enterprise, successful agripreneurs had high planning, directing and coordinating ability as compared to unsuccessful agripreneurs. Item analysis of managerial abilities was calculated by taking mean score. The data revealed that among the different managerial abilities, the successful agripreneurs scored maximum in directing ability (2.49) followed by planning ability (2.34). Managerial abilities of successful and unsuccessful agripreneurs were further compared by using Paired t-test and it depicted that successful agripreneurs were falling in high category in planning (45%), organising (60%), directing (80%), coordinating (45%), and budgeting abilities (40%).
