Society of Extension Education GujaratAbstract: Agripreneurship can be considered as a tool for rejuvenating the socio-economic conditions of rural poor which mainly includes employment creation, income generation, poverty reduction and overall improvement in health, nutrition and food security. The objective of this study is to find how various characteristics of agriculture students influence their attitude towards agripreneurship. The present study was conducted among the agriculture students in State Agricultural Universities of Gujarat. By simple random sampling technique, 300 students were selected as respondents. The data was collected through interview schedule. The results shows that risk-taking ability, achievement orientation, and critical thinking exerted the strongest positive direct effects and were significant at the 1 per cent probability level. Similarly, leadership ability, innovativeness, and source of information contributed positively and were significant at the 5 per cent level. On the contrary, background-related variables such as parents' occupation, type of family, and parents education showed negative direct influences, highlighting that inherited socio-demographic conditions may not always nurture entrepreneurial attitudes. The correlation results shows that shows that source of information (0.395**), risk taking ability (0.559**), achievement orientation (0.540**), leadership ability (0.509**), critical thinking (0.473**), self confidence (0.294**) and innovativeness (0.408**) were significantly correlated with the attitude towards agripreneurship at 1 per cent level of significance. These five independent variables together accounted 44.80 per cent variation in attitude of the students towards agripreneurship.
