This document discusses entrepreneurship development programmes (EDPs) in India. It outlines the importance of training for entrepreneurs and various training methods used in EDPs. EDPs are designed to encourage self-employment by providing training and motivation to potential and existing entrepreneurs. The phases of a typical EDP include selecting areas for focus, conducting feasibility studies, identifying and training entrepreneurs, and providing follow-up support. Several government organizations provide EDPs in India, including the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development, Small Industries Service Institutes, and the National Small Industries Corporation.
