How to Apply for ANKURAN - R-ABI Agri-Entrepreneurship Orientation Program

The selection process for the ANKURAN program involves several stages to identify promising agri-entrepreneurs.

Initially, applications are submitted through a Google Form. These submissions are then thoroughly reviewed by the RKVY-RAFTAAR Incubation Committee (RIC). The RIC's primary focus during this stage is to evaluate the quality and potential of the proposed agri-business ideas.

Successful applicants are then selected to participate in the intensive one-month orientation program. Following the completion of this training, the RIC conducts another evaluation, assessing the progress made by participants against established selection parameters.

Based on this evaluation, the RIC recommends eligible startups to the Regional Committee. The final approval for the grant is then issued by the Nodal Division of the Ministry of Agriculture.
