NITI Aayog Member Ramesh Chand on Friday inaugurated 'Agri Udaan Food & Agribusiness Accelerator 2.0', a programme to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in agriculture.    

Managed by India’s premier farm research body, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), the programme will help to selected innovative startups who will be mentored in to scale up their operations in agri value chain for effective improvement in agriculture.  

This is a 6 month program in which shortlisted agri startups with promising innovative business models will be mentored & guided to scale up their operations.

Accelerators are 4-8 month program aiming at scaling up innovative startups with a working prototype and initial market traction. This is done through education, mentorship, and financing. Startups enter accelerators for a fixed-period of time, and as part of a cohort.
