RUDSET Institute was established in 1982 to provide training to unemployed rural youth to promote self-employment through entrepreneurship. It offers short-term, free training programs in various fields including agriculture, handicrafts, and technical skills. The training uses a campus-based, practical approach along with field visits and interaction with banks. RUDSET has helped establish over 16.6 million rural enterprises so far, addressing issues of unemployment, underutilization of resources, and empowerment of disadvantaged groups in rural areas. It currently operates 25 training centers across India.
