These individuals usually start an MSME or small-scale business after completing their training programme.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurs&#8217; skills include the development of business skills and knowledge. The economic growth in India is mostly dependent on the country&#8217;s youth. Also, there has been a rise in self-employment awareness as more and more individuals are focussing on grooming their entrepreneurship skills.\u00a0 Even the government is dedicated to helping such individuals through its entrepreneurship development programmes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurship development programmes are conducted for the youth and interested individuals to establish their own businesses and self-employment ventures. These programmes are offered through educational institutions such as polytechnical colleges, ITIs and other technical institutions and business schools. The entrepreneurship skills and talents are honed in these programmes and the individuals are motivated to come up with self-employment ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/startup-registration-eligibility-documents-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/startup-registration-eligibility-documents-benefits\/\">Steps To Register A Startup In India. Check Eligibility, Documents &amp; Benefits<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key objectives behind the scheme is to motivate youth representing economically and socially backward sections. Also, ex-servicemen, physically challenged, women, and individuals belonging to BPL (Below Poverty Line) can enrol in these programmes to explore self-employment opportunities. These programmes also support new enterprises and work on developing the production capability of MSMEs that are already functional. They also try to build a culture and environment in the country where entrepreneurs can thrive and grow successfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/manage-cash-flow-small-business-owner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/manage-cash-flow-small-business-owner\/\">Ways To Manage Your Cash Flow As A Small Business owner<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_67_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/what-are-esdps-set-up-by-the-government\/#Entrepreneurial_Skill_Development_Program_By_Government\" title=\"Entrepreneurial Skill Development Program By Government\">Entrepreneurial Skill Development Program By Government<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indifi.com\/blog\/what-are-esdps-set-up-by-the-government\/#1_Industrial_Motivational_Campaign_IMC\" title=\"1.

The parts of a program can be customised according to the requirements of the clients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that 20% of the targeted training programmes are free of charge as they are primarily for the poorer sectors of society A monthly stipend of Rs 500 is also offered to such candidates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women should account for 40% of the targeted beneficiaries of EDPs and ESDPs.
