Abstract

Bommidi Srikanth Varma

Entrepreneurship Development Programs (EDPs) primarily aim to foster skill development among participants. These skills encompass two broad categories: Hard skills, which pertain to technical and managerial abilities, and Soft skills, encompassing cognitive and behavioral skills such as positive thinking, creativity, communication, interpersonal relationships, problem-solving, and decision-making.

The key question at hand is the effectiveness of entrepreneurship development programs and whether they have enabled trainees to successfully manage their enterprises. This study evaluates entrepreneurship development programs implemented in Srikakulam District, as well as other Rural Self-Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs) in different Andhra Pradesh districts.
