The post liberalization industrial and economic scenario in India makes it imperative that a more dynamic and pragmatic approach is needed to create entrepreneurs on a large scale. This would help not only in tackling the problem of unemployment but also in the growth of new entrepreneurs.
Using technology and quality as their strategic tools, those who can take on the increased competition in the domestic as well as global markets are innovators and entrepreneurs in the true sense of the term. This can be achieved only if more and more people are motivated and convinced to choose entrepreneurship as a career and put their energies and resources to productive use.
Various state-level entrepreneurship development institutes, as well as EDII, the pioneer in entrepreneurship development, have for decades been conducting localized Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDPs) for a limited number of people. These EDPs have limitations in terms of number and reach and cannot fulfil the need of a large number of potential entrepreneurs scattered across vast geographical areas of the country. This calls for a novel approach.
To address this need of developing new, committed entrepreneurs on a large scale, the EDI, Ahmedabad has conceptualized and launched an innovative Entrepreneurship Development Programme through distance learning and personal counselling titled “Open Learning Programme in Entrepreneurship”.
The main objective of the programme is New Enterprise Creation and Management. To achieve this objective, the study material is focused on various aspects of starting and managing an enterprise.
The methodology of the course includes self-instructional study material, assignments, personal counselling through experts and professional counsellors, and four online contact sessions during the course.
The Open Learning Programme in Entrepreneurship equips learners with the ability to function dynamically and acquire the requisite knowledge and skills to plan and successfully launch their own dream ventures.
Learners will get unparalleled opportunities to network, share, and benchmark with expert faculties of EDII and Human Endeavour. The curriculum further provides a platform to connect with pioneers in family business and entrepreneurship, offering deep insights into specific topics and understanding of Indian and internationally run family-owned businesses.
Learners will return to their family businesses with new ideas, actionable plans, and tools to help their businesses grow and succeed into the next generation and beyond.
On successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded a course completion certificate.
