Awareness Programs, EDP & Financial Inclusion Program
Entrepreneurship is very scarce in many parts of our country and among vast section of our population. But the fate of individual enterprises as well as the pace of industrial and economic development in any country necessarily depends on availability of entrepreneurs and their capabilities. Many development thinkers believe that entrepreneurs are not only born but can be made through systematic training and nurturing by way of proper follow-up support.
It should be clearly understood that entrepreneurship development prpogramme (EDP) means a programme designed to help a persons in strengthening his entrepreneurial motive and in acquiring skills and capabilities necessary for playing his entrepreneurs because the entrepreneurs will not only get self – employed but also generate employment for other persons too.
