Abstract


Development of entrepreneurship has become a movement in India in the recent years. Entrepreneurship Development Programmes have been considered as an effective instrument for developing entrepreneurship in the country side. Hundreds of EDPs are conducted by various organisations to impart entrepreneurial training to participants in thousands. Though the EDPs are conducted with the intention of grooming entrepreneurs, more often than not the programmes do not yield the desired results. Now a days many central and state governments are organizing EDPs for people. The author has got the opportunity to conduct Central and State Government EDP programmes and also has conducted more than ten programmes in the private sector for the people of Kerala. The paper is based on the field survey of 50 women entrepreneurs who had attended Entrepreneurship Development Training and also from the viewpoints of the author while conducting programmes. The paper also gives suggestions for improving the programmes and it goes into details about the existing supportive agencies in Kerala for development of entrepreneurship.
