Agriculture continues to play a crucial role in India’s economy, however, the sector faces persistent challenges related to inadequate extension services, limited access to technology, and unemployment among agricultural graduates. The Agri-Clinics and Agri-Business Centres (AC & ABC) scheme, launched in 2002, aims to address these challenges by promoting agripreneurship and strengthening extension services. The present study examines the performance of the AC & ABC scheme in Maharashtra, a leading state in its implementation, using secondary data for the period 2002 to 31^st December 2025. The analysis highlights Maharashtra’s dominant contribution, accounting for 27.66% of trained candidates and 31.73% of ventures established at the national level. The study further explores district-wise disparities, activity-wise distribution of ventures and institutional participation in training programmes. The findings reveal that while Maharashtra performs exceptionally well overall, significant intra-state disparities and limited diversification into high-value activities persist. The study concludes with policy suggestions to enhance balanced regional development, promote diversification, and strengthen institutional support for sustainable agripreneurship development.
