In the present era of globalisation and technological advancement, skill development is an important tool to increase the efficiency and quality of labour for improved productivity and economic growth. In the same context READY programme has been introduced to reorient the graduates of agriculture and allied sciences with entrepreneurial skill for ensuring and assuring employability. The present study was conducted among 45 passed out graduates (2017-18) by randomly selected two colleges of JNKVV(Jabalpur) to know their perception towards READY programme for entrepreneurship development. The study revealed that majority of the respondents perceived medium level of effectiveness of READY programme. Technical skill is one of the major competency developed during the programme whereas exposure visits to different Universities, incubation units and Institutes should be given more focus to boost up self-entrepreneurship suggested by the respondents
