Guidelines of the Scheme “Entrepreneurship Development Programmes ( IMC / EDP/ ESDP / MDP)” under “Promotional Services Institutions and Programmes”
A. Background
The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. MSMEs not only play crucial role in providing large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost than large industries but also help in industrialization of rural & backward areas, thereby, reducing regional imbalances, assuring more equitable distribution of national income and wealth. MSMEs are complementary to large industries as ancillary units and contribute enormously to the socio-economic development of the country.
The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (M/o MSME) promotes the development of micro and small enterprises in the country with the objective of creating self-employment opportunities and upgrading the relevant skills of existing and potential entrepreneurs. In order to promote establishment of new enterprises and creation of new entrepreneurs, M/o MSME has been implementing various schemes and programmes.
Entrepreneurship Development is one of the key elements for promotion of micro and small enterprises, particularly, the first generation entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship, and resultant creation of employment and wealth, is a major mean for inclusive development. Hence, entrepreneurship development has been one of the priorities in countries, the world over.
The Office of DC (MSME) conducts a large number of vocational and entrepreneurship development programmes. While vocational training is implemented by various Departments of the Government, the responsibility of entrepreneurship development lies largely with this office. The Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDPs) are conducted through MSME-DIs, with focus on entrepreneurial development coupled with
