The scheme aims to create an enabling ecosystem  for Entrepreneurship Development  through entrepreneurship education and training across the country including rural areas in selected Institutes  of  Higher  Learning  (Universities,  Colleges  and  Premier  Institutes),  schools, Industrial  Training  Centers  (ITIs)  and  Entrepreneurship  Development  Centers  (EDCs)  for over a period of five years (2017-18 to 2021-22). Additionally, students will get easy access to a robust network of peers, mentors, incubators, funds and business services through an online platform. So far, 239 Institutes of Higher Learning including 3 in the State of Jammu &  Kashmir  have  been  empanelled  to  impart  entrepreneurship  education  throughout  the country and entrepreneurship courses have started in more than 200 Institutes of Higher Learning.

Further, Ministry of Rural Development is undertaking a Skill Development scheme through Rural Self Employment Training Institute (RSETI) under National Rural Livelihood Mission  (NRLM).  Under  RSETI,  the  important  steps  taken  by  the  RSETIs  to  promote entrepreneurship are as under:-

- (ii) RSETIs arrange for publicity through  pamphlets,  posters,  banners, TV Scrolling  in local  cable  TV  network  and  local  press  to  disseminate  information  about  the  training programmes,  which  can  be  made  use  of  for  their  empowerment.  RSETIs  also  involve SHGs,  NGOs,  voluntary  agencies,  sarpanchs,  local  public  representatives,  Banks  in organizing EAPs.
- (iii) Past  trainees  of  RSETIs  act  as  ambassadors  in  spreading  the  message  of usefulness of RSETI training programmes. The ultimate aim of the above initiatives is to mobilise  unemployed  youth  and  organize  useful  training  programmes  to  them  in  the identified  activity/field,  so  that  they  become  successful  entrepreneurs.
