The rationale behind this programme is to: * provide training to potential learners to become job creators rather than job seekers; · provide a cost effective mode of training in entrepreneurship to those living in remote areas and thus deprived of participating in conventional EDPs ; * provide flexibility to suit the needs and aspirations of different categories of learners; * provide the facility of learning in one’s own environment, at own pace and convenience; * make sizeable contribution quantitatively and qualitatively to the task of strengthening entrepreneurship in the country.
