PREFACE
India is witnessing rapid growth and prosperity. For this to be truly inclusive, all sections of the society
need to partake in this prosperity. Besides wage employment and education, the marginalized sections of
the society also need to envision, create and scale - up ventures to be a major participant in this growth
story. While in the past, there has been some increase in the number of SC/ST owned enterprises, this
needs to increase substantially to enable the socio-economic empowerment of the SC/ST communities.
Towards this endeavour, the National SC/ST Hub (NSSH) Scheme is an initiative of Ministry of MSME,
Govt. of India targeted towards developing a supportive ecosystem to promote SC/ST entrepreneurs. The
NSSH would provide professional support to the SC/ST enterprises thereby enabling them to effectively
participate in public procurement process.
To enhance the wage and self-employability skills among the aspiring SC/ST entrepreneurs and also to
build the capacity of existing entrepreneurs by adopting industry best practices to meet the global
standards, National Institute for MSME (ni-msme) had organized various training programs under NSSH
scheme for two FY 2018-19 and 2019-20. Three category of programmes namely Capacity Building
Programmes (CBP), Entrepreneurship and Skill Development Programs (ESDP) and Entrepreneurship
Development Programs (EDP) organized with an aim to transform the SC/ST youth from job seekers to
job creators. High-end skill programs were organized in collaboration with Indian Institute of
Management, Trichy and Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Kolkata which offered latest business
management inputs. Tool kits in Beauty & Wellness, Fashion Designing, Food Processing, Photography,
IT& ITeS sectors were distributed to the participants to start a self-employment activity immediately with
minimum investment.
ni-msme conducted a study to comprehend the status and knowledge level of participants before and after
training. The study revealed that after attending the training programme, un-employment among
participants has decreased substantially and knowledge level in different domains of entrepreneurship has
increased. The training has helped them to build their career either in self-employment or wage
employment.
Based on the analysis and feedback from the participants, several recommendations were elucidated that
need to be considered in policy making and designing customised training programmes for these
communities.

participants belong to SC and 21 percent from ST category. 120 candidates were trained
in EDPs, 80 percent of them belong to SC category and 20 percent from ST category.
Among a total of 1080 trainees, 75 percent belong to SC category and 25 percent belong to
ST category.
 It is found that under Capacity Building Programmes, out of 540 trainees, 61 percent were
male and 39 percent were female. In ESDPs, out of 420 trainees, 57 percent were male
and 43 percent were female. In EDPs, out of 120 trainees, 80 percent were male and
remaining 20 percent were female. Among 1080 trainees, 63 percent were male and 37
percent were female participants.
 It is inferred that in all the training programmes, female participation is relatively less when
compared to male participants. But in case of few programmes like ESDP in Food Product
Manufacturing, Fashion Designing and Make-up artist, female participation is relatively
high than male participation.
 It is revealed that the participation of existing entrepreneurs in all the training programs
during the year 2018-19 is only 5 percent. Majority of the participants i.e. 95 percent are
prospective entrepreneurs. In the year 2019-20, 11 percent of participants are existing
entrepreneurs and the remaining 89 percent are prospective entrepreneurs. The marginal
increase in participation by existing entrepreneurs in 2019-20 compared to 2018-19 is
because of higher participation (42%) of these entrepreneurs in EDP programmes.
 It is found that 27 percent of the participants received the information about the training
programmes from newspaper advertisements and press note given by ni-msme. 21 percent
participants got the information through electronic media, 18 percent participants got the
information from ni-msme website.12 percent participants got the information about
trainings from ni-msme officials and friends and 10 percent participants got the information
from NGOs/Community/Awareness Camp.

Research Report
 It is found that nearly one fifth of trainees have knowledge on self-employment

opportunities and remaining were unaware of these opportunities before training. But, after
the successful completion of the training majority could gain this knowledge. In addition
to this, the knowledge levels in best management practices have increased by nearly three
times after getting training from ni-msme. This has equipped the three-fourths trainees
gaining Employable Technical skills after the completion of training programmes.
 It is also found that very few participants have knowledge on Government Schemes before
training, but further 90 percent trainees were made aware of the Government Schemes
through training. The Entrepreneurship Literacy levels have been increased substantially
after the training programmes.
 The training programme has helped the majority (93%) of the participants in understanding
the Legal Compliances like Registrations / licenses / GST. The knowledge related to
Financial Literacy has increased among the trainees to more than 90 percent after training.
 It is inferred that majority of the trainees gained skills in preparation of Detailed Project
Report after getting trained. A meager amount of trainees had these skills before training.
 It is revealed from the study that majority of the trainees felt that their Wage-employment
opportunities have increased after training.
 The inference from the study finds that the trainees’ ability in getting Innovative Project
ideas has increased substantially.
 It is found that after attending the training programmes, the percentage of un-employment
among participants has decreased substantially, they have either got wage employment or
ventured into self-employment.
 From the above findings, it is concluded that knowledge level in different domains of
entrepreneurship has increased from the training programmes and helped them to build their
career either in self-employment or wage employment.

Research Report
5. Suggestions & Recommendations
Based on the results and feedback from the participants, the following suggestions may be
considered.
 Capacity Building Programmes should be designed separately for aspiring and existing
entrepreneurs with different modules and long duration.
 In Capacity Building Programmes, instead of giving short term trainings on different topics,
it is better to conduct total EDP, which covers all the topics.
 In Skill Development programmes, only basic skills are given. It is better to impart
advanced skills in the second phase for the same participants to enable them for getting
good wages in the industry.
 ESDP Programmes should be residential, as the participants come from remote and rural
areas.
 A separate calendar of courses targeting SC/ST youth should be announced every year to
strengthen the entire SC/ST population in the country for better livelihood.
 Mentoring and hand holding services should be provided for Start-ups and proper guidance
in setting up of new units after the training.
 Training should be conducted in regional languages, as majority of them are from rural
community.
 The trainees felt that exclusive Job and Loan fairs should be conducted to get either wage
employment or venture into self-employment.
 Stipend should be provided to the trainees by NSSH during training period to compensate
their wages and support their livelihood.
 National SC/ST Hub should support successful trainees to showcase their products at State
and National level Exhibitions and e-Commerce portals.
