The Origin

There was a growing concern for economicdevelopment and this strengthened interest inentrepreneurship with primary focus on exploringpractical measures to augment the supply of

entrepreneurs, i.e. persons with competence andaptitude to initiate, nurture and expand industrialenterprises. This resulted in the belief ineducation and training to inculcate and develop

entrepreneurial capabilities in people so that theycould set up their own enterprises. Subsequentlyprogrammes directed towards this goal wereconceptualised.

The birth of training efforts for the promotion

of entrepreneurship in the country was purely

an indigenous initiative, i.e. the 'Technician

Scheme' launched in the year 1969 by two

state-level agencies of Gujarat. The scheme

visualized 100% finance without collaterals. A

large number of people took advantage of this

scheme. The real gain of the scheme was the

realization that there is vast entrepreneurialpotential available in the country that could

be tapped and developed through appropriate

training intervention.
