Rationale
Entrepreneurship can be successfully taught like
any other discipline – Today, there are worthwhile
testimonies to this claim. Prestigious management
institutes offer full-fledged courses on
entrepreneurship and many students have
ventured into the field but the incidence needs to
be enhanced. The Government of India, through its
newly established Ministry of Skill Development
and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), focuses on
developing entrepreneurial and employability skills
among the youth through entrepreneurship
education and training, advocacy and easy access
to entrepreneurship networks. The Ministry has
been also trying to deliver world class Learning
and Management System (LMS) to equip potential
as well as early stage entrepreneurs.
The Govt. of India has launched several programmes
to develop entrepreneurs in sectors such as
manufacturing, IT and digital services, healthcare,
and sanitary and hygiene. To achieve aforementioned
objectives the Government has launched pan India
programmes, viz. 'Start-up India', 'Stand-up India',
'Make-in India', 'Digital India', 'Swachha Bharat (Clean
India)', that are aimed at further propelling
entrepreneurship movement in India. Sculpting its
mandate around this mission, EDII looks forward to
increasing its efforts towards cultivating
entrepreneurial bent of mind and knowledge in youth.
The most crucial change agents in this process are
the faculty members specializing in teaching
entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India
(EDII), backed by over more than 30 years of
experience in the field, designed a module to
develop a cadre of trained faculty members
involved in teaching entrepreneurship at the school
and college levels and has been implementing
Faculty Development Programmes successfully
across the country and abroad. The
