Dr. M. S. Vasu, Dr. K. Jayachandra

Abstract :

 The majority of the over 300 million people living below the poverty line in India live in rural areas.  Unemployment rate in India has increased.  It is 2% in rural areas and 3% in urban areas in India. The problem of unemployment continues to persist in rural areas.   NABARD has been implementing numerous promotional programmes for reducing the rural unemployment.  In order to generate employment in rural areas, it was felt necessary to develop the entrepreneurial skills of the rural youth. Rural Entrepreneurship Development Programme(REDP) and Skill Development Programme(SDP) is a promotional programme supported by NABARD to motivate and train educated unemployed rural youth, to set up their own enterprises.  REDP/SDP is transferring the skill of business to the poor and needy. In spite of many efforts, the NABARD still has the target to increase the efforts for the development of unemployed rural youth. An attempt has been made to analyze the progress of NABARD assistance to the REDPs/SDPs for the development of entrepreneurs in rural India in this paper. The paper is prepared on the basis of secondary information from annual reports of NABARD and other related sources.
