Type: article

Abstract: This infographic presents the ICRISAT–SERP partnership (2025–2028) to establish 2,500 rural agro-processing enterprises across 31 districts of Telangana, benefiting rural women self-help group (SHG) members. It outlines the project's three-phase approach — opportunity identification and enterprise planning, enterprise establishment, and entrepreneurship development and capacity building — spanning primary processing, value addition, post-harvest infrastructure, and emerging opportunities across ten commodity categories. One-year impacts include 1,327 enterprises identified, 407 financially sanctioned, 254 enterprises operational, and 27 completed value chain studies, demonstrating a scalable model for inclusive rural entrepreneurship and strengthened local economies.
