The economic development of any area depends upon its entrepreneurial activities, based on socio-cultural support, skill, and motivational factors. A comprehensive effort has been necessitated to consider the influence of these factors on enterprises. Tripura is a small border state of North-East India has not seen major industrial growth, even though trying to promote entrepreneurship within the state for since long. Only financial target-oriented superfluous schemes of government cannot save entrepreneurship, if motivation and skill factor which was concealed since the inception of five-year planning, are barred from apt attention and due diligence. This paper investigates the entrepreneurial predictors, which are having a significant impact on entrepreneurial growth. The study proves that a total entrepreneurship program covering motivational aspects and skill factors may usher a new era in the state and country as well covering the entrepreneurs of the state, and revealing motivation work as the single biggest contributor for entrepreneurial growth in Tripura, whereas other factors of socio-cultural support and skill factors have limited impact.
