FOREWORD

Creating an environment for a strong culture of entrepreneurship is a key for economic

development of the country. It is heartening to mention that India has been growing at a relatively
high rate in the last few years, and is likely to be the largest economy in the world by 2050.
Fortunately, India is a young country with about 63 percent population currently being in the
working age group of 15 to 59 years and it is pertinent to mention that improved training and skill
development is critical for providing wage employment or self-employment. The Ministry of MSME
has been implementing skill training through National Institute for Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises (ni-msme) to help and assist potential people to become entrepreneurs or secure wage
employment under the Scheme of Assistance to Training Institutes since 2009-10 onwards, We
gratefully acknowledge the support of the Ministry in conducting the programmes.
It has been a journey of full of challenges. In general, most of youth are interested to go for
wage employment as most of them are not aware of the policies and schemes of the Ministry. They
are also not equipped with necessary skills to venture into business or secure wage employment.
Therefore, there was a need for programme on entrepreneurship and skill development with
practical learning. ni-msme has been privileged to be a part of this noble initiative through scheme
of Assistance to Training Institutes since inception. National Institute for Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises has been implementing the scheme in Southern India through various esteemed partner
Institutions. We are putting our best efforts to impart effective training, monitoring and follow up.
The efforts of ni-msme and its partner Institutions is resulting in to success of our trainees. ni-msme
has already brought on volume of success stories.
Moving forward, ni-msme would like to bring out few more success stories to present a glance
of the joint efforts of ni-msme & its Partner Institutions in nurturing entrepreneurship and
enterprises in many locations of few States. The credits of this success goes to collective efforts of
Ministry of MSME, ni-msme family & its Partner Institutions and our trainees for their efforts in
learning, enhancing their skills and endeavor to start their business.
These cases will continue to inspire various stakeholders as well as the future generation of
Trainees. In this context, we would like to thank the Heads of partner Institutions, Programme
coordinators and ni-msme Faculty members for their commitment and effective implementation of
the scheme for empowering the youth through necessary skills for self and wage employment.
Expecting many more such volumes from Partner Institutions in near future

National Institute for

Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (nimsme) and its partner institutions are
creating more and more number of

successful stories by providing quality training to the needy people in the country. Ni-msme has
succeeded in understanding the needs of the weaker sections of the society and devising training
programmes to uplift them. If one trainee, starts a business after the EDP training, his/her family
needs could be meet to a certain extent by using the returns from the business. Some trainees start
business and generate employment for others. This in turn will help others families too. So EDP
training helps both in setting up of business unit and also in generating employment. By generating
more number of employment, the serious issue of unemployment could be solved and poverty can
be eliminated from the country.
There is an old Chinese saying that Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. This is what ni-msme and its partner institutions
are performing for a very long period of time. Rather than mere conductance of the training
programmes, they also conduct appropriate follow up after every training programme. Through
necessary follow up measures, they take into consideration various suggestions being put forward
by the trainees and make corrective measures in the upcoming training programmes. This is how nimsme brings in large number of entrepreneurial successful stories every year.
