Rural micro agriculture linked businesses though encountered perennial problems of research crunch, offers immense growth, employment co-efficient & implication for distribution in agrarian economy of district Upper Subansiri, Arunachal Pradesh. Their emergence is the result of un-remunerative and seasonal character of agriculture, marginalization of small farmers, eviction of tenants and a number of policy measures initiated by the government for promoting self-employment. The paper examines the significance of background and key motivational factors in sustaining rural micro entrepreneurship using chi-square tests of significance and factor analysis. The study suggests adoption of an integrated & multidisciplinary development approach by including training, institutional, financial support as a composite package coupled with improved technology in agriculture to create `income and output’ effect which in turn would increase raw material and demand for rurally produced goods
