| dc.description.abstract | The present study was undertaken to determine entrepreneurial intention among the final year undergraduate students of two veterinary universities i.e., Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Andhra Pradesh and P. V. Narasimha Rao Telangana Veterinary University, Telangana. It also aims to determine the factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention. The present research work was carried out in all the nine constituent colleges of both universities in three fields i.e., veterinary, dairy and fisheries. Ex-post facto research design was adopted for this study and a sample size of 149 final year students were selected through proportionate random sampling procedure. The data was collected from the students through well designed questionnaire using both print and electronic (google) forms. The results revealed that majority of veterinary, dairy and fishery students were in the age group of 21-23 years. Majority of the veterinary, dairy respondents were male whereas, most of the fishery respondents were female. Majority of students were Hindus, with education at private school and had nuclear family with small family size. Most of the veterinary students belong to general category, whereas half of the dairy and fishery students belong to OBC category. Majority of dairy and half of the fishery students were from rural area, whereas equal percentage of veterinary students belong to both rural and urban areas. Most of the fathers of veterinary and fishery students had graduation, whereas, most of the dairy students’ fathers were with secondary education. Most of the mothers of veterinary students had graduation whereas, dairy and fishery student’s mothers were with secondary education. Fathers of veterinary and dairy students were engaged in agriculture/A.H related activities whereas, fathers of fishery students were employed in occupations other than agriculture and employment. Mothers of majority students were homemakers. Majority of veterinary students’ families were with annual income of less than Rs.2.5-5 lac whereas, majority of the dairy students were with family income of Rs.1-2.5 lac and fishery students with less than Rs.1 lac per annum. Majority of the students were from middle class with no prior exposure to enterprise and were receiving financial assistance from family. More than three fourth mentioned that they had received curriculum support towards entrepreneurial orientation from their courses. Veterinary, dairy and fishery students had similar levels of creativity, need for achievement, locus of control, risk taking property, need for autonomy, innovativeness, self-confidence, knowledge of entrepreneurship, decision-making ability, entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial intention with majority being with medium level. Correlation analysis of independent variables with entrepreneurial intention of students revealed that creativity, need for achievement, locus of control, risk taking property and entrepreneurial attitude showed positive and significant relation with entrepreneurial intention at 0.01 level of probability, whereas, the variables family size and prior exposure to enterprise showed positive and negative significant association at 0.05 level of probability, respectively. The remaining five variables i.e., need for autonomy, innovativeness, self-confidence, knowledge of entrepreneurship and decision making ability didn't establish any significant correlation with the entrepreneurial intention among the total students studied. Multiple regression analysis revealed that, the variables family size and knowledge of entrepreneurship showed positive relationship at 0.05 level of probability with entrepreneurial intention, whereas, creativity, need for achievement, locus of control and risk-taking property had positive and prior exposure to enterprise had negative relationship at 0.01 level of probability. The remaining variables viz., need for autonomy, innovativeness, self-confidence and decision-making ability did not show any significant relation with the entrepreneurial intention of the students. The co-efficient of determination (R2 ) of the independent variables was 0.593 which means that 59.30 per cent of total variation in the entrepreneurial intention of the students was explained by the 12 selected independent variables. Orientation and motivation of students by utilizing mentor services from successful entrepreneurs during internship programmes may further improve entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial intention among the three categories i.e., veterinary, dairy and fishery students | en_US |
