Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

The Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDI), an autonomous and not-forprofit Institute, set up in 1983, is sponsored by apex financial institutions - the IDBI Bank Ltd., IFCI Ltd., ICICI Bank Ltd. and State Bank of India (SBI). The Government of Gujarat pledged twenty-three acres of land on which stands the majestic and sprawling EDI campus. To pursue its mission further, EDI has helped set up twelve state-level exclusive entrepreneurship development centres and institutes. One of the most satisfying achievements, however, was taking entrepreneurship to a large number of schools, colleges, science and technology institutions and management schools in several states by including entrepreneurship inputs in their curricula. In view of EDIs expertise in Entrepreneurship, the University Grants Commission appointed the EDI as an expert agency to develop curriculum on Entrepreneurship. EDIs success led by its strong sense of commitment culminated in recognition of its achievements by the Government of India and various state governments. In the international arena, efforts to develop entrepreneurship by way of sharing resources and organising training programmes, have helped the EDI earn accolades and support from the World Bank,

Commonwealth Secretariat, UNIDO, ILO, FNSt, British Council, Ford Foundation, European Union and several other renowned agencies. The Institute has also successfully carried out the prestigious task assigned by the Ministry of External Affairs (India), to set up Entrepreneurship Development Centres in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam. The Institute is presently working towards creating ED Centres in Uzbekistan & Kazhakistan.

The last two decades have witnessed an expansion in the domain and scope of NGO activities. Growth has made the sector visible. Nearly half a million NGOs are operating in the country. Some of the NGOs are well-meaning and shouldering responsibilities of efficient planning, networking with partners, executing schemes and managing public funds. In order to accomplish all these tasks, skill must be deep-rooted across the development sector. EDI has been striving to bring greater professionalism in NGOs by creating a cadre of professionals. EDI is offering an AICTE approved two-year, full-time programme - Post Graduate Diploma in Management Development Sector (PGDM-DS). For more Information visit PGDM-DS

A business

idea is a concept which can be used for commercial purposes.

It typically centers around a commodity or service that can be sold for money, according to a unique model. There are several methods for developing and testing a business idea. The ability to come up with a business idea can be transformed into a viable business, where ideas supported by feasibility and a business plan can then be sold to interested investors, firms, and interested parties for a lump sum or a management contract, or as agreed. Business ideas, if introduced at the right time, when demand for such service or a product introduced by the idea is expected to surge, can lead to a very profitable business. Business ideas are always available through different sources; however, it is the application applied on these ideas, and timing makes all the difference in failure or success.
