For the first generation
entrepreneurs: Agricultural EDP, Product EDP, Process EDP and General EDP
Agriculture EDPs
We all know that majority of population of the country are
still dependent on agriculture. Though ,lot of research in agricultural
sciences is being carried out in the country, there is a great need for more
extension services to convey the research findings to the farmers. Agriculture
EDPs aim at disseminating the latest developments from the laboratory to the
land. Further, India, basically being agrarian, offers a lot of opportunities
to undertake agri-business. Combining skills of farming with entrepreneurship
can be a viable option for the youth from agricultural background. Thus youth can
be trained in agricultural based EDPs.
For examples Better Cultivation
practices for crops ,Improved practices for allied agricultural activities Use
of Bio- fertilizers and vermi compost.
Product EDP: In
the changing scenario and competitive world, creativity is the need of the day.
It has been observed that a person with creative mind and a little of
investment can launch his/her own manufacturing unit producing utility articles
as a sustainable micro enterprise.
For examples : Tailoring
& Machine Embroidery. Paper plates, phenyl making, candle making, Hand
& Maggam, Embroidery, Soft Toys making, Gift Articles making, Jute bags
making, Coconut coir products and Paper
bags making
Process EDPs
The country has made great strides in technology front and
there has been a great surge in the production of equipments, machinery,
electrical and electronic gadgets resulting in great scope for their servicing
and repairs. There is a great demand in this front and acute shortage of
skilledtechnicians. Further, there has also been an increase in the demand for
specialized service providers. Most of these service oriented activities
comparatively require lower investments for launching them
For examples TV
and Radio repairs, Food processing & Bakery products ,Motor
rewinding ,Tie and Dying Fashion Design and Technology ,Fabric painting, Computer
Hardware technology and Carpentry& Power tools
General EDP:
It is observed that there are categories of youth who are
interested in starting an enterprise and capable of some investments on their
own or eligible for a bank loan. They do not have proper guidance for selecting
an activity close to their resources and personal preference. They are also in a
state of confusion about the size of the activity and investment. General EDPs
takes care of all the aspects of motivation, entrepreneurship, business
selection, marketing, management skills and launching formalities. A separate training
schedule has been created for EDP training under PMEGP.
For example House wiring
,Photography & videography, Two and Four wheeler mechanism , Photo
lamination, Cell phone mechanism , Photo Framing, DTP & Screen Printing
,Rexene Bags& goods making Animation, Multimedia &Power point

Course Module
for EDPs
The EDPs endeavor to change, educate and equip a person to
become a successful entrepreneur. The whole process envisages developing the
candidate’s latent qualities and skills as also equipping him with other
capabilities. By the end of the programme the candidate is in a position to
crystallize his vision into action and launch & manage his enterprise with
competence.The important components in entrepreneurship training – the objectives,
duration, delivery methods and coverage, etc. are one cohesive package for EDP.
Thus the course module should be considered as guideline which can be modified
suitably to the local requirements.
Behavioural aspects
The most significant aspect in an EDP is the creation of
entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial attributes. This is based on the belief that
entrepreneurial competencies can be identified in an individual trainee,
developed and encouraged. As per the research findings in entrepreneurship
development, fifteen entrepreneurial competencies have been identified by
studying the task, activities and behavior of successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurs.
They
are classified into following five clusters:
Ø Achievement
Cluster
1)Initiative
2) Seeing and acting on opportunities 3) Persistence 4) Information seeking
5)

orientation

The behavioral aspects provide experiential learning
situation to the potential entrepreneurs to help them examine their outlook and
attitude towards entrepreneurship and help practice newly learnt behavior. This
phase generates a sense of learning amongst the candidates about an enterprise.
Their
desire to know further, their plans and decisions to crystallize their ambition
into action is accomplished through this. The candidate’s receptivity of
learning enhances commitment to the set goal. This attitudinal change leads to
learning at a much faster pace.

change is followed by imparting detailed technical skill in the chosen
activity. The process of demystifying the technology is the hallmark of this
phase. Utilizing the services of skilled and experienced entrepreneurs in this
phase is important. Care is taken to provide adequate ‘hands on’experience
(practical) in the needed technology.

survey, selecting specific business opportunity, preparation of business plan,
