    (Recognised by Distance Education Bureau, UGC)

    The post liberalisation industrial and economic scenario in India makes it imperative that a more dynamic and pragmatic approach be adopted to create new first generation entrepreneurs on a large scale. Various state level Entrepreneurship Development Institutions as well as EDI, the pioneer in entrepreneurship development, have, since decades, been conducting localised Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDPs). These EDPs have limitations in terms of beneficiaries being covered at a time and thus fail to fulfill the need of a large number of potential entrepreneurs scattered in the vast geographical areas of the country. Hence, need for a novel approach was felt. To address this need of developing new, committed entrepreneurs on a large scale, the Institute conceptualised and launched an innovative programme titled 'Diploma in Entrepreneurship and Business Management' through distance learning and personal counselling.
