    (University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 2017-11) Channal, Geeta P.; Natikar, K.V.
    The study was taken during the year 2014-15 in Bagalkot, Vijayapur and Uttar Kannada districts of Karnataka. A sample of 50 trained and 50 untrained respondents were selected from each of the three districts making a total sample of 300 with Ex-post facto research design. The entrepreneurship development scale was developed and standardized. Impact of entrepreneurship on the trained entrepreneurs was around 70 per cent. The index score for leadership ability, decision making ability, confidence level, and management orientation, establishment of enterprise and growth/expansion of enterprise of the entrepreneurs revealed that there was significant difference between entrepreneurs who have been beneficiaries of entrepreneurship development programmes and non beneficiaries. The ‘t’ value for the trained and untrained entrepreneurs were significant and higher than the untrained entrepreneurs. Fifty per cent (50.66%) of the trained entrepreneurs adopted product based enterprise followed by agricultural based enterprise (22.00%), process based enterprise (16.68) and general enterprise (10.67%). Similarly untrained entrepreneurs adopted product based (62.00%) followed by general enterprise (30.67%), process based enterprise (6.66%) and agricultural based enterprise (0.67%).In both the groups top priority was given for product based enterprises. The income of untrained entrepreneurs was higher than trained entrepreneurs. The reasons could be establishment of enterprises as a family tradition carried forward over generations and their expertise in the profession from past many years. The problems expressed by the entrepreneurs were marketing of the produce (48.00 %), health problems (36.00 %), electricity problem (32.00 %), high cost of labour (27.33 %) and high rent of the shop (24.67 %). The suggestions given by trained entrepreneurs were quick sanction of loan (34.66 %), proper market network (18.00 %), latest technologies (12.00 %) and simplification of bank loan procedure (10.66 %).
