## ANSWER

THE  MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(SHRI JAYANT CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (d) The  National  Institute  for  Entrepreneurship  and  Small  Business  Development (NIESBUD) is an autonomous Institute under the administrative control of the Ministry of Skill Development  and  Entrepreneurship  (MSDE).  The  Head  Office  of  NIESBUD  is  located  at NOIDA, Uttar Pradesh, with 22 extension centres in 20 states.

NIESBUD  extension  centres  were  initially  opened  at  National  Skill  Training  Institute (NSTI)  campuses  located  across  the  country.  However,  presence  of  an  NSTI  Campus  is  not mandatory for opening an Extension Centre of NIESBUD.

Further,  an  NSTI  Extension  Centre  is  operational  at  the  'Andhra  Pradesh Medical Technology Zone (AMTZ)' Campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh since August 2024 and a  NIESBUD  extension  centre  has  also  been  co-located  in  the  same  NSTI  extension  centre recently.

State-wise  details  of  the  extension  centres  of  NIESBUD  as  on  date  are  placed  at Annexure-I .
