Evaluating entrepreneurship development programmes in India
Funding agencies for entrepreneurship development programmes (EDPs) in India are currently re-appraising their support for such programmes, and questions on the cost-effectives of EDPs are being raised. The need for more exacting evaluations is apparent given that most EDPs go no furtherthan discovering whether or not trainees have started businesses after the programme.This article describes some past and present evaluations of Indian EDPs which were presented at a one-day 'National Consultation on the Evaluation of EDPs' at Bhubaneswar, Orissa, in March 1992. The consultation
ended with some recommendations on how EDPs could collect data to make evaluations easier in future, and for EDPs to be prepared for funding institutions to expect trainees to pay part of their fees in future.
