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.
