Education is the key important part to bring positive mindset in people. In agriculture, technical education plays important role in bringing practical skills in people, furthermore technical education cost expensive than others. Hence, to build our youth as potential workforce for revolution, there should be schemes provided for youth in agri-education. Highly attractive scheme to get formal education in agriculture can make youth more potential and enthusiast, therefore, if we thinking to build effective youth force for agri-development in Nepal, at first we should provide them a very good education for agricultural science.
Several skill building practical classes, trainings and short courses can be given to as many youth to make them technically sound. Involvement in seminars, expos and other technical education not only make them educated but also make them technical human resource. Therefore, they can either be ready to support government from employment opportunity, or by thinking out of the box for developing agri-entrepreneurship.
There should be a heavy investment in youth education.

Youth should be encouraged to come in agri-entrepreneurship through technical education and finance scheme.
Technical education prepares youth as skilful technical manpower and financial schemes for business will give them courage to develop agri-entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is potential opportunity to industrialize our agriculture plus will create employment opportunity.
There should be multiple opportunities available for youth in agribusiness, agrientriprises and agri industrialization. Financial support should available to establish agribusiness for youth and or there should be special scheme for youth to come in agribusiness such as loan, crop and animal insurance, health insurance and infrastructures support from many organizations. Therefore, we can trap into agriculture system, and hence can imagine some changes for positive results.
Positive revolution, transformation and constructive changes over Nepalese agriculture requires massive industrialization, commercialization and entrepreneurship. Therefore, if there are any schemes available to attract youths in agribusiness, it will encourage them for agri-entrepreneurship, hence our agriculture will positively transformed from traditional to industrial agriculture.
C. Support
We have to support the youth who are already in agribusiness. In our society, we used to perceive agriculture as low level work. If someone decided to work in agriculture, people used to make ridiculous joke over them and used to mistreat them. Youth who have started to work in agricultures usually have to face low level treat as they are wasting time by engaging in agriculture. Now we have to change people"s understanding about agriculture that agriculture is value equally or more than other employment. Youth who have decided to work in agriculture as entrepreneur or employer we have to support them. There should be supportive and motivational programs should available to youth to capture them in this sector.
From different ways we have to first educate our youth, prepare them as technically and academically sound workforce, lure them in agriculture from different entrepreneurship opportunities, schemes and benefits. Once we become able to utilize this active but unemployed youth force in agriculture, we can imagine revolutionized transformation. Our existing system can be significantly improved, productive and efficient.
