TRAINING AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
DEVELOPMENT
ChapterVII
7.1 BACKGROUND
7.1.1 Entrepreneurship has been
considered the backbone of economic
development. It has been well established
that the level of economic growth of a region
to a large extent, depends on the level of
entrepreneurial activities in the region. The
myth that entrepreneurs are born, no more
holds good, rather it is well recognised now
that the entrepreneurs can be created and
nurtured through appropriate interventions
in the form of entrepreneurship developmentprogrammes.
7.1.2 In the era of liberalisation,
privatisation and globalisation along with
ongoing IT revolution, capable entrepreneurs
are making use of the opportunities emerging
from the evolving scenario. However, a large
segment of the population, particularly in the
industrially backward regions/rural areas
generally lags behind in taking advantage
of these opportunities. Therefore, there isa need to provide skill development and
entrepreneurship development training to
such people in order to mainstream them in
the ongoing process of economic growth.
7.1.3 Entrepreneurship development and
training is, thus, one of the key elements
for development of micro and small
enterprises (MSEs), particularly, the rst
generation entrepreneurs. To undertake this
task on regular basis, the Ministry has set
up three national-level Entrepreneurship
Development Institutes (EDIs). These are,
the National Institute for Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises (NI-MSME), Hyderabad;
the Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship
(IIE), Guwahati and the National Institute
for Entrepreneurship and Small Business
Development (NIESBUD), NOIDA. Further,
the Ministry has been implementing (inaddition to the schemes of MSME-DO) an
important scheme, namely, Scheme for
Assistance for Strengthening of Training
Infrastructure of Existing and New
Entrepreneurship Development Institutes
(EDIs). The main objectives of the scheme
are (i) promoting entrepreneurship for
creating self-employment through enterprise
creation; (ii) facilitating creation of training
infrastructure; and (iii) supporting research
on entrepreneurship related issues.
7.1.4 Further, in order to improve the success
rate of the EDP trainees in the establishment
of new enterprises, the Ministry has recently
launched a new scheme, namely, Rajiv
Gandhi Udyami Mitra Yojana (A Scheme
for Promotion and Handholding of Micro
-
7/27/2019 Chapter 7-Eng

MSME
and Small Enterprises). The main objective
of this scheme is to provide handholding
support to rst generation entrepreneurs,
through designated lead agencies i.e.
Udyami Mitras. Under this scheme, theUdyami Mitras would provide guidance and
assistance to the potential entrepreneurs
registered with them, in preparation of
project report, arranging nance, selection
of technology, marketing tie-ups with buyers,
installation of plant and machinery as well as
obtaining various approvals, clearances and
NOCs etc. For providing this handholding
assistance to the new entrepreneurs, the
Udyami Mitras shall be paid handholdingcharges under the scheme.
7.2 SCHEME FOR ASSISTANCE FORSTRENGTHENING OF TRAININGINFRASTRUCTURE OF EXISTINGAND NEW ENTREPRENEURSHIPDEVELOPMENT INSTITUTES(EDIs)
7.2.1 The scheme envisages providingnancial assistance to State-level existing/
proposed institutions meant for supporting
entrepreneurship development and self-
employment activities. Under this scheme, grant
is given for setting up of new entrepreneurship
development institutions (EDIs) and also for
up-gradation and modernisation of existing
EDIs in the country. Under the scheme, a
matching grant of 50 per cent, subject to a
ceiling of Rs.100 lakh, is provided for building,equipment, training aids etc., the balance
being contributed by the State/Union Territory
Governments and other agencies. The nancial
assistance provided under this scheme is only
catalytic and supportive to the contribution and
efforts of State/Union Territory Governments
and other agencies. Under no circumstances
grant funds provided under the scheme can
be used to meet the recurring expenditure of
the institute.
7.2.2 The institutions/organisations seekingassistance under this scheme should be
registered as not-for-prot organisation with
entrepreneurship development as its main
objective, should possess a clear title of the
land required for setting up of the proposed/
existing institution, have a separate bank
account in a scheduled bank in which all
receipts/funds received by the institute
should be credited and payments made on
the basis of authorisation by the Governing
Council of the institute.
7.2.3 All the proposals under this scheme
are required to be recommended by and
routed through the concerned State/UT
Government.
7.3 NATIONAL INSTITUTE FORMICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUMENTERPRISES (NI-MSME),

7.6 SCHEME OF PARTNER
INSTITUTIONS
7.6.1 In spite of the best efforts of existing
national and state level entrepreneurship
development institutions (EDIs), it is felt that
there is a need to ll the gap in providing
entrepreneurship training in the selected
backward/rural areas and also organising
entrepreneurship development programmes
(EDPs) for persons belonging to Scheduled
Caste / Scheduled Tribe / Minority / Women
categories, which might have been left out of
the network of existing training institutions.
In order to bridge this gap, the three national-
level Entrepreneurship Development
Institutions have recently come out with a
scheme of setting up of Entrepreneurship
Development Centres (EDCs) through
Partner Institutions (PIs).
7.6.2 Through this scheme, these
institutions would be collaborating with
Partner Institutions for organising training
programmes and for implementing other
income generating schemes/programmes,
especially in the remote and backward areas.
This scheme will enhance the outreach of
these institutions and at the same time, the
Partner Institutions will also be beneted in
terms of capacity building of their faculty,
access to the infrastructure and resources
of national-level institutions through
