The document discusses entrepreneurship development programmes (EDPs). It outlines their need, objectives, course contents and curriculum, phases, evaluation, and problems. Specifically, it notes EDPs aim to develop entrepreneurial qualities like motivation and skills like management. EDPs go through pre-training, training, and post-training phases which include selecting trainees, conducting the program, and following up. They are evaluated both qualitatively based on business outcomes and behaviourally based on entrepreneur orientations. However, EDPs sometimes face issues like lack of motivation, ineffective implementation, and wrong trainee selection.
