Entrepreneurship is the process of starting a business or other organization. The entrepreneur develops a business model structure, acquires the human and other required resources, and is fully responsible for its success or failure. Entrepreneurship operates within an entrepreneurship 'economic system or we can say ecosystem. In recent years, "entrepreneurship" has been extended from its origins in business to include social and political activity. Entrepreneurship within an existing firm or large organization has been referred to entrepreneurship and may include corporate ventures where large entities spin off subsidiary organizations. Entrepreneurs are leaders willing to take risk and exercise initiative, taking advantage of market opportunities by planning, organizing, and employing resources, often by innovating new or improving existing products. More recently, the term entrepreneurship has been extended to include a specific mindset resulting in entrepreneurial initiatives, e.g. in the form of social, political knowledge entrepreneurship. According to Paul Reynolds, founder of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor "by the time they reach their retirement years, half of all working men in the United States probably have a period of self-employment of one or more years; one in four may have engaged in self-employment for six or more years. Participating in a new business creation is a common activity among U.S. workers over the course of their careers. In recent years, entrepreneurship has been claimed as a major driver of economic growth in both the United States and Western Europe. Likewise, the asian countries also exercise the entrepreneurship in order to promote the economic growth.

Haryana is predominantly a farming state involving 65% of population in agriculture directly or indirectly, in spite of recent industrial development. The state has achieved a notable growth in its agricultural sector, which made Haryana self reliant in food production. But, the farming community is vulnerable to various types of risks and uncertainty in terms of prices and yield of their product. In worst case scenario their entire effort may go waste in the event of a natural calamity. The weather conditions and market oriented environment in general happen to woeful to the stability of their income. The insurance is one the robust tool developed by economics to overcome the risk. But insurance is a financial product and required minimum awareness to get the understanding of its complexity. At present, crop insurance coverage in India is 23% only. States like Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh (western region) are low crop insurance coverage areas. The main reason for low coverage is farmers having little awareness about insurance schemes. They are not aware of how the scheme works. One reason for under-penetration of crop insurance in Haryana may be the most parts of the state are covered under irrigation facilities that protect farmers from conventional weather risks. To insulate farmers against risks in agriculture, government has launched several schemes such as National Agricultural Insurance Scheme and weather index based crop insurance schemes. Recently to stabilize the farm income and overcome the distress among farmers due to crop failure present Indian government has also taken number of steps to promote crop insurance among the farmers. In this process it has also launched a carefully designed crop insurance policy named as Pradhan Mantri Fasal BimaYojana which is accessible and economical to all variant of farmers. The coverage of insurance schemes seems to be limited among the farmers primarily due to lack of full information. In this paper, we have tried to examine about the awareness condition of the households regarding crop insurance. The study has reported the results of a survey of 567 farmers in Haryana conducted to assess their awareness level about various facets of crop insurance and its schemes. The paper also tried to explore the factors affecting farmers' decisions regarding crop insurance. The study found that awareness level of farmers about crop insurance is low due to lack of information.

Every generation pass on their skills and knowledge to the next generation for their survival, growth and development. Still there is an ever changing need and demand both from the individual as well as the society not just to acquire existing knowledge and skills but also to acquire new ones as our society is very dynamic and it keeps changing. Education is the only means to acquire existing and new skills and knowledge in order to meet the needs and demands of the ever changing world and society in which we live. Since these needs and demands of the society keep changing, it becomes difficult as well as not feasible for the formal system of education to fulfill all the demands through it. It becomes imperative to have an alternate system of education. Alternate system of education emerged sometime during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century to fulfill the existing gap and needs of the individuals as well as the society. These gaps and needs exist due to various reasons like the opportunities available in the main stream education system do not always cater to the needs of individuals from different socio-economic and cultural background, in terms of access to main-stream schools and also to individuals needs of learning style, class structure, teaching methods and evaluation. The teacher is the one who plays a crucial role in the actual transaction, execution and implementation of any educational programme; be it in the mainstream or in the alternative education set up. Teacher education owes the responsibility to prepare such well equipped professionals who could take up the instrumental role in the preparation of teachers who can contribute to different educational set ups. This paper is a case study of an educational institution situated in the city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh in India. The school conducts its classes using an alternative system of education and it also conducts innovative training practices, for in-service teachers, both for their own school and also for teachers from other schools. This research paper explores the philosophy, innovative practices, problems and challenges of the institute and how it caters to the needs of the students and teachers and the teachers perspectives on in-service teacher education provided by the institution. To know the experiences of the founders and teachers who are parts of the institute, data was collected through semi structured interviews from the founder and director of the institution and also from the teachers of the institution. Observations are taken by the researcher using participatory and non participatory method and data was taken in the form of written field notes. The data is transcribed and analyzed qualitatively and conclusions are drawn.
