Eleventh Biennial Conference on Entrepreneurship/ Edited by Sasi Misra, Dinesh Awasthi, Ganapathi BatthiniSummary: The effect of climate change [1] has had a heavy toll on agriculture in India. While Gandhiji envisioned India's future in the development of her villages, it appears that Climate change would make this vision a dream. While several initiatives are being taken to help farmers overcome the ill effects, few steps are taken (i) to facilitate them with an alternative income and/or (ii) to prevent them from deserting agriculture. With these two aspects as the core objective, in this paper, we propose a business model -a seasonal entrepreneurship. This model has been drafted based on the data obtained from a group of villages under study. Two sample businesses, in which we have hands on experiences and which fit into this model, specifically for the villages under study, are also described in this paper.
