Relationship between Sex and Entrepreneurship Traits of Agri-Undergraduate Students in Northern India.

This research examined the relationship between sex and the agricultural entrepreneurship characteristics of undergraduate Indian university students. This research employed a theoretical structure focusing on personal factors influencing agri-entrepreneurship. In 2021, from 619 students \ data was collected through a Google survey. The collected data were evaluated and juxtaposed with percentages, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Male students (66.13%) outnumbered female students (33.91%) in the School of Agriculture. Entrepreneurial attributes existed among agri-undergraduate students. Significantly correlated traits associated with entrepreneurship were creativity (? = .311), initiative taking, (? = .188 with planning), decision-making ability (? = .250), risk-taking propensity (? = .154), competitiveness (? = .172), and pressure coping (? = .145). Sex does not affect the supervisory role. A significant association existed between ‘gender’ (?²=112.37) and ‘trustworthiness’ (likelihood ratio=21.55). ‘Gender’ and ‘perceived trustworthiness’ levels are unlikely to occur by chance alone. Further exploration into this underrepresented area of research is imperative to guide the formulation of targeted educational strategies that enhance the development of entrepreneurial competencies within this demographic. This investigation distinguishes itself by exploring gender-centric variables to provide insight into entrepreneurial attributes within a cohort of undergraduate scholars engaged in agricultural studies.
