Indian economy is considered to be one of the largest agrarian economies in the world. Most of the Indian agriculture is rainfed and unable to provide sustainable income generation round the year. In this situation, self-employment in general and microenterprise in particular is evolving as a prospective option for livelihood and income generation. Various initiatives by different organisations have been taken to promote entrepreneurship among poor. This paper is an attempt to document the design and implementation of some of the successful experiences in promoting microenterprise development. Selection of these organisations was done based on secondary data collected from various sources. This paper will be useful for organisations working in the similar field as well as policy makers in developing microenterprise development interventions.

Abstract


Indian economy is considered to be one of the largest agrarian economies in the world. Most of the Indian agriculture is rainfed and unable to provide sustainable income generation round the year. In this situation, self-employment in general and microenterprise in particular is evolving as a prospective option for livelihood and income generation. Various initiatives by different organisations have been taken to promote entrepreneurship among poor. This paper is an attempt to document the design and implementation of some of the successful experiences in promoting microenterprise development. Selection of these organisations was done based on secondary data collected from various sources. This paper will be useful for organisations working in the similar field as well as policy makers in developing microenterprise development interventions.
