Youth are disinterested in agriculture because of better opportunities in cities like better employment, better pay, or a more desirable job [2]. There are the clear signs that people were fast moving out from the agriculture, especially in the form of peasant migration, youth migration, occupational mobility in rural areas and rural youth practicing farming part- time and ageing of the farmer population in several pockets of the country. Currently, there is a challenge of retaining youngsters in agriculture due to various socio-economic factors, including profitability in agriculture pursuits. In order to assess the various factors attributing to distract youths from agriculture, a case study on the “Status of the Rural Tribal Youths of Mizoram towards Agricultural Occupation” was undertaken using multi-stage sampling technique with a total of 480 respondents from four districts of Mizoram. Data were collected through personal interview method by using a well-structured interview schedule. For analysis of data Frequency, percentage and co-efficient of correlation were applied. From the study it was found that the majority (58.33%) of the youth has no interest in agriculture and 72.91 per cent of youth were willing to shift from agriculture in search of other job and those who are involving in agriculture are also mostly part time(41.67%) before they get other job. The reasons ascertained by the youth is that agriculture brings low income, demands hard work, high risk and uncertainty, lack of government support, better technology and experience and not having agricultural insurance etc. The youths have a negative attitude towards agriculture considering that agriculture cannot fulfill youth’s socio-economic needs. It was observed that among twelve independent variables employment status, achievement motivation, membership in rural institutions were recorded positively significant and education and leisure time activity were found negatively significant. Hence, special efforts need to be taken up so as to attract, train and retain the rural youth towards agriculture farming as a whole by making it more economical, remunerative and profitable with scientific interventions as mode of taking agriculture as agribusiness enterprises. Policy implications such as imparting skilled oriented training, exposure to vocational courses, orientation in Organic and Natural farming, implementation of Integrated farming System, attracting to the agri-business potentiality, diversification in secondary agriculture, availing credit-linkage opportunities, creation & development of agricultural infrastructures and formation of FIGs, FCs, Clusters and FPOs can really benefit the overall socio-economic development and reviving of youths in agriculture professions.
