Entrepreneurship has significant role in economic development and social transformation. However, India is lagging behind in skill and entrepreneurship development as hardly 3 per cent of the work force has achieved some kind of vocational education. Though, India has a vast network of technical and professional education institutions however, it faces a huge deficit of skilled human resources. Entrepreneurship development and training is, thus, one of the key elements for development of micro and small enterprises (MSEs), particularly, for the first generation entrepreneurs. The present paper has highlighted the public accountability towards entrepreneurship development in India.

Abstract


Entrepreneurship has significant role in economic development and social transformation. However, India is lagging behind in skill and entrepreneurship development as hardly 3 per cent of the work force has achieved some kind of vocational education. Though, India has a vast network of technical and professional education institutions however, it faces a huge deficit of skilled human resources. Entrepreneurship development and training is, thus, one of the key elements for development of micro and small enterprises (MSEs), particularly, for the first generation entrepreneurs. The present paper has highlighted the public accountability towards entrepreneurship development in India.
