The objective of the Programme is to identify persons with entrepreneurial quality, to motivate them and to train them through a structured training course so as to enable them to set up their tiny and small scale industrial ventures with the assistance available from different agencies. The programmes undertaken under this Scheme are:-

1. Identification, selection and motivation of potential entrepreneurs through intensive campaign and seminars at a cost of Rs. 5000/- per programme and
2. A training course at an expenditure of Rs.20,000/- for 30 participants for a duration of 4 weeks. The financing pattern was set in 1986 and an upward revision is presently under consideration.

A course fee of Rs.500/- per participant is charged in metropolitan cities and Rs.200/- per participant in non-metropolitan cities. 50% fee is charged for SC/ST participants.
