RUDSETI, Brahmavara
Entrepreneurs are not just born they can be developed and
trained to undertake ventures and be creative. However, everybody doesn’t have t
he potential to become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial development is essential
ly an educational process and an endeavor in human resource development. However
, entrepreneurship cannot grow in vaccum.It requires an environment in which an
entrepreneur can learn and discharge his functions.
Entrepreneurial Development:
Development of entrepreneurship incorporates 4 basic issues,
1. Availability of material resources.
2. Seletion of real entrepreneur.
3. Formation of industrial units.
4. Policy formation for the development of region.
The main objectives of an Entrepreneurial Development Progr
amme are,
1. To identify and train potential entrepreneurs.
2. To develop necessary knowledge and skills among the participants.
3. To impact basic managerial understanding.
4. To provide post training assistance.
Need for Training and Development:
The urge to achieve is one of the most significant vari
able associated with high need for achievement tend to be more successful entrep
reneurs as compared to people with low achievement. Entrepreneurship can be deve
loped through training and not necessarily a hereditary quality.
The objective of entrepreneurial training is to develo
p motivation and competence necessary for successful launching, management and g
rowth of the enterprise.
The objective of an EDP may be divided into two catego
ries, Short-Term objective and Long-Term objective.
Short-Term Objectives:
It imply the objectives which are to be achieved imme
diately after the completion of the programme preparing a personality for the en
trepreneurial venture, making him competent to scan the environment and situatio
n within the existing regulatory framework on shot-term objective. Short-term ob
jective is to help a participant in the fixation of his/her goal of life as entr
epreneur.
Long-Term Objectives:
In the Long-Term Objective, An EDP seeks to equip the
participant with all the skills required for the establishment and smooth runni
ng of business venture. The ultimate objective is that the participant under tra
ining should establish his/her own venture.
PHASES OF EDP:
An EDP consists of 3 Broad Phases;
1) Initial or Pre-training Phase:
This phase includes the activities and the preparation required to
launch the training programme main activities are;
1. Creation of Infrastructure for training.
2. Preparation of training syllabus.
3. Tie up of guest facilities.
4. Arrangement for inauguration of the programme.
5. Designing tools and techniques for selecting the trainees.
6. Formation of selection committee.
7. Publicity campaign for the programme.
8. Development of application form.
9. Pre-potential survey of environmental opportunities.
2) Identification of Enterprise:
Once an entrepreneur having necessary socio-personal and human resource cha
racteristics is identified, it is necessary to identify a suitable enterprise ar
project for him. The enterprise must be matched with the potential entrepreneur
. All the background information like his skills, experience in the field, the p
hysical resource available, family occupation etc should be taken into considera
tion having found a suitable trade an entrepreneur needs to thoroughly examine i
ts liability in terms of financial implication. The raw material availability, t
he marketing avenues and profitability of the enterprise have to be explored. It
would also involve detailed exploration of services needed and available in the
area.
CONTENTS OF TRAINING PROGRAMME:
1. Technical Knowledge and Skills.
2. Achievements Motivations Training (MAT).
3. Support System and Procedures.
4. Managerial Skill.
5. Project Preparations.
MONITORING AND FOLLOW UP:
Continuous monitoring and follow up is essential for the success of
any EDP.
Some common activities in the monitoring and follow up process
are:
1. Preparing and maintaining a separate file for each trainee. This file co
ntains all the data being collected from beginning to the end of the programme.
2. A history could indicate the bio-data of each entrepreneur and the work
done by him.
3. Keeping in touch with every entrepreneur through letters.
4. Passing the desired information to the entrepreneur well in time.
5. Visiting every entrepreneur periodically.
6. Follow up meeting and a follow up register to ensure the success of the
Entrepreneurial Development Programme.
THE TARGET GROUPS:
In EDP the Target Group refers to the Group of persons for whom
the programme is designed and under taken.
The EDP may be organized for any of the following Target Gr
oups:
1. Technical and Other Qualified Persons.
2. Ex-servicemen.
3. Business Executives.
4. Women entrepreneurs.
5. S.C. and S.T. entrepreneurs.
6. Special Agencies and Schemes.
PROBLEMS IN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS:
Some of these problems are as follows,
1. First major problem is improper identification and selection of the projects.
This results in wrong choice of technology and improper forecasting of financia
l requirements.
2. Unneccessary delays in project implementation lead to cost escalation. This i
n turn creates liquidity problems, I increase debt burden and hikes the breakeve
n point.
3. Inedequate finance, poor working capital management, lack of organization and
non-productive expenditure out of working funds also pose major problems to the
entrepreneurs.
4. Unsatisfactory transport and Communication facilities reduce mobility and cau
se delays in the transmission of information. Shortage of housing accommodation
errates power and water supply, defective sewerages system for disposal of indus
trial waste are other infrastructural problems.
5. Shortage of trained manpower at the location of the units is another major pr
oblem. The units being low capital based cannot afford to employ skilled technic
al manpower at high wages. Seasonal availability of labour leads to low capacity
utilization.
6. Multiplicity of government agencies leads to harassment and wastage of valuab
le time and energy of the entrepreneurs.
7. Shortage or irregular supply of raw-materials hampers the production process.
8. Small entrepreneurs have to depend on middlemen and face competition. They la
ck expertise and resources to complete will large business houses.
9. The officials of state agencies lack a problem solving approach. This results
in delays and escalation of project as well as product costs.
10. Consultancy services provided by local and state level agencies are unsatisf
actory. Whatever is promised during the training programme by the agency is not
actually supplied.
EVALUATING EDP’s:
1) Programme objectives:
Evaluation of an EDP may begin with an assessment of the philosoph
y or the central objectives of the programme. The agency conducting the programm
e must be clear about the purpose underlying entrepreneurial development.
The objective may be to increase production, to generate emplo
yment, to uplift certain people etc.
Evaluation of the objectives implied requires research studie
s. The required data might be collected from the trained and rejected candidates
.
2) Selection Strategy and Procedures:
The success of EDP depends largely on Proper selection of traine
es.
A three-stage selection procedure is followed in this case. It b
egins with screening through a carefully designed application blank which collec
ts data on dimension mentioned above. This is followed by psychological tests an
d behavioral exercises and games meant for assessing certain other qualities. Fi
nally personal interview are held.
3) Training Programmes:
In order to judge the extent to which the training has increased
the possibility of turning the trainees into successful entrepreneurs, the foll
owing criteria may be used:
a. Comparison of a random sample of entrepreneurs from the trained group wi
th those of a random sample from untrained group.
b. Comparison of random samples of entrepreneurs from the trained group wit
h those from the rejected group.
c. Interviewing the trained group to find out their opinion on the training
programmes.
d. Surveying the expectation and experience of those under training.
e. Examination of the curriculum contents by a group of experts.
f. Assessment of trained entrepreneurs in their balance sheet operations.
4) Organizational Policies and structure:
The policies and strategies of the concerned agency are equally signif
icant. The training strategy of the organization concerning an EDP depends upon
its overall view about entrepreneurial development.
Like the assessment of policies, strategies, community needs and the o
rganization of training courses the structure and process of the organization sh
ould also be evaluated. Creative and flexible structure and processes may set an
example to the trainees. The dynamic of the organization and its work may have
to be examined to see if it has requisite self-remaining characteristics.
RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND SELF EMPLOYMENT TRAINING INSTITUTE:
HISTORY:
Under the leadership of Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade and the institution
like Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala Education Trust, Syndicate Bank and Canara Bank
joined together establish the institution called “RUDET”.
Dr. Veerendra Heggade inaugurated on institution on 30-01-1983 in Uj
ire. The initial success which is got in the Ujire is a stepping stone for the i
nstitution to widen its area throughout the country. Today in our country the in
stitution established its branches in 12 states. Institution has given training
to nearly 1,32,418 candidates out of these candidates 87,485 candidates started
self-employment in their respective villages is a national record of this instit
ution. The success rate of providing training to establish their self-employment
in nearly 66%.
The motto of the institution is overall development and providing
self-employment.
The institution provides 1-6 week training facilities. It provide
s training facilities in the field of agriculture, technical, telephone and mobi
le repairs, motor re-winding, screen printing, photography and videography, cate
ring and computer hardware. It also provides training in the field of rural empl
oyment development and women employment.
Institution also provides special training to the officials of
nationalized banks and rural development banks, Govt. officers with regard to pr
ovide information related on self-development and self-employment to the people
of the society where they are working in a particular locality
The learning methodology adopted by the institution to its mem
bers in the field of skill development, human resource management, time manageme
nt, money management, customer service, banking service, maintenance of accounts
, insurance.
After getting the training facility from the institution, t
he successful entrepreneur’s had established “RUDSET BAZAR” in their respective
localities.
Background:
Unemployment is the biggest challenge the country is facing in the process of it
s development. Lakhs of youth are entering the job market every year after compl
eting their school/collegiate education. Non-availability of corresponding emplo
yment opportunities in the organized as well as unorganized sector has increased
unemployment. The entry of automation and mechanization in every sphere of comm
erce and administration due to the advent of science and technology has further
accentuated the problem. On the rural side, the employment potential in agricult
ural economy also appears to have reached a saturation level leading to large sc
ale migration of manpower from rural areas to urban areas adding woes and pressu
re to already over strained civic infrastructure.
Millions of unemployed youth particularly from rural and semi-urban background w
ho could not access higher professional education but oriented towards white col
lar jobs are driven to despair for not finding a job. Of late, these distressed
youth are attracted towards antisocial activities for their livelihood. This tre
mendous waste of human resources and mismatch of potentiality with productive de
ployment has baffled the planners and administrators. The situation calls for ur
gent steps to provide increased employment opportunity in the rural and semi- ur
ban areas itself to check the shifting of resources resulting in improved econom
ic status.
All these clearly indicate the need for promoting self-employment entrepreneuria
l ventures among the unemployed youth and women. Of late, Government and Non Gov
ernment agencies have taken certain initiatives and implementing many schemes to
promote micro enterprises. However, the efforts seem to be inadequate against t
he gigantic unemployment problem.
An innovative initiative was taken way back in the year 1982 jointly by
Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Educational Trust, Syndicate Bank a
nd Canara Bank to motivate unemployed youth to take up self-employment as an alt
ernative career. The unique experiment of building confidence of the youth by de
veloping skill and positive attitude among them through dedicated training was f
ound effective. The model has proved very successful for the past 25 years in bu
ilding the morale of the youth and empowering them to acquire a productive ident
ity by taking up self-employment ventures in their own places.
The success rate of 66 per cent and impact of RUDSET Institute training in enabl
ing the youth to establish and sustain in the ventures was recognized and apprec
iated by Government of India, State Governments, SIDBI, NABARD, etc. Replication
of the model was recommended to tackle the unemployment problem successfully an
d developing entrepreneurship.
Genesis:
Syndicate Bank and Canara Bank the two progressive banks took the initiative in
mitigating the unemployment problem under the leadership of Padmabhushana
Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade, a great visionary and a religious head of a famous pil
grim center at Dharmasthala in Karnataka. The collective thinking gave concrete
shape in providing an institutional framework, in the form of Rural Development
and Self Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI) in 1982 at Ujire, a small villa
ge in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka.
The Rural Development and Self Employment Training (RUDSET) Institute is a Non-
governmental Organization jointly sponsored by Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara
Educational Trust, Syndicate Bank, Canara Bank, SARD Foundation and CBPJRD Trus
t. The 23 branches of RUDSET Institute located in all the four regions of India,
is working with an avowed goal of alleviating unemployment in the rural and sem
i-urban parts of India. The philosophy of RUDSET Institute is transformation of
rural youth to acquire productive identity through short duration intervention.
This is achieved by motivating them for utilizing a little experience gained in
their life and bringing technology, training and credit within their reach. Posi
tive attitude and self- confidence is instilled in the minds of trainees through
well-planned training inputs. Need-based training programmes are evolved taking
into consideration the scope and sustainability of the activity by constantly s
canning the environment.
Mission:
• Channelising youth power in wealth creation.
• Empower youth to share economic progress equitably.
Mission Statement:
“Instead of writing someone else’s account through wage employment after three t
o five years of collegiate education, it is more meaningful to write one’s own a
ccount by embarking upon some self-employment”.
Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade
President
RUDSET Institute
Philosophy of RUDSETI:
The entrepreneurisation of rural youth has to take place by stimulating their ps
yche followed by bringing technology, training and credit within their reach the
reby developing self-confidence. In the context of employment generation the thr
ee terms i.e. income generation, self-employment and entrepreneurship are often
cited. In rural areas one has to work in all the three categories since they are
interdependent.
The entrepreneurship development can take place in short duration intervention.
It does not begin from Zero level. Generally young people have gained some exp
erience in life. This experience serves as a launching pad for accelerated learn
ing. It is therefore possible to train young people in a short period of 1 to 4
weeks to enhance and enlarge behavioral dimensions such as increased awareness,
understanding, knowledge, skill and formation of positive attitude. The training
can be effective if it is residential. Campus approach helps the participants t
o shape their attitude and personalities. The duration of learning is stretched
beyond structured hours in this approach.
Objectives:
• Identify, orient, motivate, train and assist the rural youth to take up
self-employment as an alternative career.
• Promote rural entrepreneurship.
• Train village level workers.
• Counseling and project consultancy.
Organizational Set-Up:
RUDSET Institute is registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860.The suprem
e policy making body of the institute is the Board of Governors which consists o
f the Chief Executives of sponsor organizations. The policies are implemented an
d monitored by a Governing Council aided by the Central Secretariat headed by an
Executive Director – an officer deputed by the sponsor banks. Dr. D. Veerendra
Heggade, a great visionary and a religious head is the President of the Board of
Governors as well as Governing Council.

“Instead of writing someone else’s account through wage employment afte
r three to five years collegiate education, it is more meaningful to write one’s
own account by embarking some Self-Employment.”
- Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade
President, RUDSETI
If the rural areas of the country developed, then the country will
develop to the maximum extent. Full employment should be there to develop the r
ural areas. But at present, Government is not able to provide employment for all
. Private organizations providing employment on the basis of their requirements
and necessity. Thus, what about others? What they can do for their life? Once th
ey born, they can’t die due to unemployment or poverty. So self-employment is on
e of the great ways to people lead the life with satisfaction. Unemployment and
poverty go hand in hand. Self-employment is the biggest antidote for eradicating
poverty and unrest in the society.
Today youth want to become entrepreneurs. They cannot just wait for
wage employment. They want to become their own boss. They have to look to self-
employment as a means of respectable living in society.
Burning talents hidden in rural areas. Large numbers of educated u
nemployed and under-employed are in rural areas. Most of them have either passed
or failed in the matriculation examination. These people are not lazy. They wan
t to work. So, such people tend to migrate to cities with illusion to seek emplo
yment for the fulfillment of their desire. What they need is motivation and to t
ake up self-employment in their own areas by infusing entrepreneurial qualities
coupled with help and guidance to establish their units.
Thus, the two progress banks of the nation- Syndicate Bank and Canara Bank un
der leadership of a great visionary and religious head Dr.D.Veerendra Heggade to
ok initiative in mitigating the unemployment problem. The collective thinking ga
ve concrete shape in providing an institutional framework in the form of RUDSET
Institute in 1982 jointly by following organization:

Eligibility of candidates:
The candidates belonging to the area of operation of the institute are
eligible for training. Usually youth belonging to the age group of 18-35 years
with ability in read and write and who are inclined to start self-employment ven
tures are preferred.
Selection of Candidates:
The selection of candidates starts with the assessment of applicatio
n form. The application are designed in such a way that they give proper insight
into the candidates personal background, his status in the family, his/family f
inancial standing, experience in the relevant filed and the rationale of his sel
ection of the specific course, etc. RUDSETI approach is flexible in selecting in
selecting the trainees. It encourages youth genuinely interested to be self-emp
loyed. Normally interview is not conducted for courses like EDPs, REDPs, WEDPs,
Agriculture, Dairy, Sericulture, Nursery etc. where elimination can be done on t
he basis of information provided in the application form itself. In respect of s
kill oriented courses candidates are selected through personal interviews. Selec
tion through sponsoring bank managers also made in respect of some courses. Sele
ction of potential entrepreneurs for training, if done carefully and systematica
lly, can ensure better results in the setting up of units and their successful r
unning later on. Since the main EDPs are to identify, motivate and develop new e
ntrepreneurs, the initial care taken in selecting them helps to provide the trai
ning
Input needs of the selected entrepreneurs. Keeping in view the above, the Instit
ute adopted scientific tools called focused Behavioral Event Interview, self rat
ed questions, sentence completion test etc.
The Training Methodology:
The essence of Entrepreneurship Training is its faith in stimulating do
rmant entrepreneurial traits in an individual through the change in ASK
(Attitude Skills and Knowledge). Taking note of their target community in additi
on to the usual training inputs fixed in the conventional EDPs. RUDSETI is focus
ing on technical and managerial skills. Inputs so imparted not only help them in
venture launching but also sustain its existence, growth and development. The c
ourse modules carry the best aspects of ‘Psycho-dynamic’ model of David McClella
nd and ‘Management model’ of Peter Drucker.
The EDP package of RUDSETIs invariably consists of behavioral aspects;
technology (skills) or information related to chosen activity, skills of launch
ing and management of an enterprise. However the emphasis may fluctuate with the
socio-economic background, awareness level and extent of technical Knowledge of
target group. Usually in skill based courses technical inputs gain more coverag
e than the other behavioral inputs.
Training tools and techniques of RUDSETI comprise the behavioral simul
ation exercises. Live models, Lectures, group discussions, Role play, Demonstrat
ions, Practical work. Field visits, interaction with entrepreneurs, Audio-visual
aids, Logging of proceeding and self evaluation etc.

III. Training to Stakeholders and Capacity Building of Field NGOs under Sujala W
atershed Project (World Bank Funded):
Watershed Development Department, Government of Karnataka has taken up the Sujal
a Watershed Development Project in five districts of Karnataka viz. Chitradurga,
Kolar, Tumkur, Dharwad and Haveri. Sujala project addresses the problem of ensu
ring livelihood security in drought prone and degraded areas in which the bulk o
f the population are dependent upon renewable natural resources. Apart from the
land-based activities, the project has a unique system of conducting non-land-ba
sed activities to reduce poverty in drought prone locations.
RUDSET Institute has taken up the assignment of providing training and handholdi
ng services to land less stakeholders of Chitradurga District to facilitate them
for taking up non-land-based income generating activities. RUDSET Institute has
a crucial role to play in developing entrepreneurship among the stakeholders/se
lf-help group members so that the resources are better utilized and migration of
labour is arrested. During the first phase, Entrepreneurship Development Progra
mmes (EDPs) to 1335 stakeholders were organized.
The staffs of Field NGOs have been actively involved in motivating these people,
organizing SHGs and guiding their activities. Their continued involvement is es
sential in facilitating Entrepreneurship Development by providing timely guidanc
e and organizing group enterprises. It is felt necessary that the facilitators s
hould have a thorough knowledge of Entrepreneurship Development. In this backdro
p, RUDSET Institute has organized Training of Trainers (ToT) to the staff of Fie
ld NGOs involved in the project.
Furthermore, impressed by the impact during the implementation of the first phas
e of the project, it has further extended the contract for training 1700 stakeho
lders in Hosadurga and Molkalmur districts of Chitradurga District.

ome an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial Development Programme is essentially a trai
ning programme which helps the people to become entrepreneurs.
RUDSETI is an institution started in the year 1983 in Ujire under the able guid
ance of Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade. The moto of the institution is providing train
ing to the selected people who have the qualifications such as S.S.L.C, P.U.C, D

avara has covered a path of 19 years. RUDSETI unit, Brahmavara has many achievem
ents to its credit by providing the training to the selected people.

SUGGESTIONS:
Instead of concentrating in providing trainings to the rural people only
, it is better to concentrate on rural as well as the people of urban area.

ted with high need for achievement tend to be more successful entrepreneurs as c
ompared to people with low achievement Entrepreneurship can be development throu
gh training and not necessarily a hereditary quality. The objected of entreprene
urial training is to develop motivation and successful launching, management and

RUDSETI, Brahmavara
Entrepreneurs are not just born they can be developed and
trained to undertake ventures and be creative. However, everybody doesn’t have t
he potential to become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial development is essential
ly an educational process and an endeavor in human resource development. However
, entrepreneurship cannot grow in vaccum.It requires an environment in which an
entrepreneur can learn and discharge his functions.
Entrepreneurial Development:
Development of entrepreneurship incorporates 4 basic issues,
1. Availability of material resources.
2. Seletion of real entrepreneur.
3. Formation of industrial units.
4. Policy formation for the development of region.
The main objectives of an Entrepreneurial Development Progr
amme are,
1. To identify and train potential entrepreneurs.
2. To develop necessary knowledge and skills among the participants.
3. To impact basic managerial understanding.
4. To provide post training assistance.
Need for Training and Development:
The urge to achieve is one of the most significant vari
able associated with high need for achievement tend to be more successful entrep
reneurs as compared to people with low achievement. Entrepreneurship can be deve
loped through training and not necessarily a hereditary quality.
The objective of entrepreneurial training is to develo
p motivation and competence necessary for successful launching, management and g
rowth of the enterprise.
The objective of an EDP may be divided into two catego
ries, Short-Term objective and Long-Term objective.
Short-Term Objectives:
It imply the objectives which are to be achieved imme
diately after the completion of the programme preparing a personality for the en
trepreneurial venture, making him competent to scan the environment and situatio
n within the existing regulatory framework on shot-term objective. Short-term ob
jective is to help a participant in the fixation of his/her goal of life as entr
epreneur.
Long-Term Objectives:
In the Long-Term Objective, An EDP seeks to equip the
participant with all the skills required for the establishment and smooth runni
ng of business venture. The ultimate objective is that the participant under tra
ining should establish his/her own venture.
PHASES OF EDP:
An EDP consists of 3 Broad Phases;
1) Initial or Pre-training Phase:
This phase includes the activities and the preparation required to
launch the training programme main activities are;
1. Creation of Infrastructure for training.
2. Preparation of training syllabus.
3. Tie up of guest facilities.
4. Arrangement for inauguration of the programme.
5. Designing tools and techniques for selecting the trainees.
6. Formation of selection committee.
7. Publicity campaign for the programme.
8. Development of application form.
9. Pre-potential survey of environmental opportunities.
2) Identification of Enterprise:
Once an entrepreneur having necessary socio-personal and human resource cha
racteristics is identified, it is necessary to identify a suitable enterprise ar
project for him. The enterprise must be matched with the potential entrepreneur
. All the background information like his skills, experience in the field, the p
hysical resource available, family occupation etc should be taken into considera
tion having found a suitable trade an entrepreneur needs to thoroughly examine i
ts liability in terms of financial implication. The raw material availability, t
he marketing avenues and profitability of the enterprise have to be explored. It
would also involve detailed exploration of services needed and available in the
area.
CONTENTS OF TRAINING PROGRAMME:
1. Technical Knowledge and Skills.
2. Achievements Motivations Training (MAT).
3. Support System and Procedures.
4. Managerial Skill.
5. Project Preparations.
MONITORING AND FOLLOW UP:
Continuous monitoring and follow up is essential for the success of
any EDP.
Some common activities in the monitoring and follow up process
are:
1. Preparing and maintaining a separate file for each trainee. This file co
ntains all the data being collected from beginning to the end of the programme.
2. A history could indicate the bio-data of each entrepreneur and the work
done by him.
3. Keeping in touch with every entrepreneur through letters.
4. Passing the desired information to the entrepreneur well in time.
5. Visiting every entrepreneur periodically.
6. Follow up meeting and a follow up register to ensure the success of the
Entrepreneurial Development Programme.
THE TARGET GROUPS:
In EDP the Target Group refers to the Group of persons for whom
the programme is designed and under taken.
The EDP may be organized for any of the following Target Gr
oups:
1. Technical and Other Qualified Persons.
2. Ex-servicemen.
3. Business Executives.
4. Women entrepreneurs.
5. S.C. and S.T. entrepreneurs.
6. Special Agencies and Schemes.
PROBLEMS IN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS:
Some of these problems are as follows,
1. First major problem is improper identification and selection of the projects.
This results in wrong choice of technology and improper forecasting of financia
l requirements.
2. Unneccessary delays in project implementation lead to cost escalation. This i
n turn creates liquidity problems, I increase debt burden and hikes the breakeve
n point.
3. Inedequate finance, poor working capital management, lack of organization and
non-productive expenditure out of working funds also pose major problems to the
entrepreneurs.
4. Unsatisfactory transport and Communication facilities reduce mobility and cau
se delays in the transmission of information. Shortage of housing accommodation
errates power and water supply, defective sewerages system for disposal of indus
trial waste are other infrastructural problems.
5. Shortage of trained manpower at the location of the units is another major pr
oblem. The units being low capital based cannot afford to employ skilled technic
al manpower at high wages. Seasonal availability of labour leads to low capacity
utilization.
6. Multiplicity of government agencies leads to harassment and wastage of valuab
le time and energy of the entrepreneurs.
7. Shortage or irregular supply of raw-materials hampers the production process.
8. Small entrepreneurs have to depend on middlemen and face competition. They la
ck expertise and resources to complete will large business houses.
9. The officials of state agencies lack a problem solving approach. This results
in delays and escalation of project as well as product costs.
10. Consultancy services provided by local and state level agencies are unsatisf
actory. Whatever is promised during the training programme by the agency is not
actually supplied.
EVALUATING EDP’s:
1) Programme objectives:
Evaluation of an EDP may begin with an assessment of the philosoph
y or the central objectives of the programme. The agency conducting the programm
e must be clear about the purpose underlying entrepreneurial development.
The objective may be to increase production, to generate emplo
yment, to uplift certain people etc.
Evaluation of the objectives implied requires research studie
s. The required data might be collected from the trained and rejected candidates
.
2) Selection Strategy and Procedures:
The success of EDP depends largely on Proper selection of traine
es.
A three-stage selection procedure is followed in this case. It b
egins with screening through a carefully designed application blank which collec
ts data on dimension mentioned above. This is followed by psychological tests an
d behavioral exercises and games meant for assessing certain other qualities. Fi
nally personal interview are held.
3) Training Programmes:
In order to judge the extent to which the training has increased
the possibility of turning the trainees into successful entrepreneurs, the foll
owing criteria may be used:
a. Comparison of a random sample of entrepreneurs from the trained group wi
th those of a random sample from untrained group.
b. Comparison of random samples of entrepreneurs from the trained group wit
h those from the rejected group.
c. Interviewing the trained group to find out their opinion on the training
programmes.
d. Surveying the expectation and experience of those under training.
e. Examination of the curriculum contents by a group of experts.
f. Assessment of trained entrepreneurs in their balance sheet operations.
Organizational Set-Up:
RUDSET Institute is registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860.The suprem
e policy making body of the institute is the Board of Governors which consists o
f the Chief Executives of sponsor organizations. The policies are implemented an
d monitored by a Governing Council aided by the Central Secretariat headed by an

Special Projects Executed.
III. Training to Stakeholders and Capacity Building of Field NGOs under Sujala W
atershed Project (World Bank Funded):
Watershed Development Department, Government of Karnataka has taken up the Sujal
a Watershed Development Project in five districts of Karnataka viz. Chitradurga,
Kolar, Tumkur, Dharwad and Haveri. Sujala project addresses the problem of ensu
ring livelihood security in drought prone and degraded areas in which the bulk o
f the population are dependent upon renewable natural resources. Apart from the
land-based activities, the project has a unique system of conducting non-land-ba
sed activities to reduce poverty in drought prone locations.
RUDSET Institute has taken up the assignment of providing training and handholdi
ng services to land less stakeholders of Chitradurga District to facilitate them
for taking up non-land-based income generating activities. RUDSET Institute has
a crucial role to play in developing entrepreneurship among the stakeholders/se
lf-help group members so that the resources are better utilized and migration of
labour is arrested. During the first phase, Entrepreneurship Development Progra
mmes (EDPs) to 1335 stakeholders were organized.
The staffs of Field NGOs have been actively involved in motivating these people,
organizing SHGs and guiding their activities. Their continued involvement is es
sential in facilitating Entrepreneurship Development by providing timely guidanc
e and organizing group enterprises. It is felt necessary that the facilitators s
hould have a thorough knowledge of Entrepreneurship Development. In this backdro
p, RUDSET Institute has organized Training of Trainers (ToT) to the staff of Fie
ld NGOs involved in the project.
Furthermore, impressed by the impact during the implementation of the first phas
e of the project, it has further extended the contract for training 1700 stakeho
