EDII’s initiatives stand out because they support market-demand and display social responsiveness. During the year 2001, when the Earthquake struck Gujarat, EDII rose to the occasion and came up with a development-model, which targeted enterprise development and revival in the region. The project was taken up under support of the European Union. Successful and satisfactory completion of the work even helped develop a replicable model for the economic regeneration of disaster-struck regions across the globe and thus earned development status to entrepreneurship. EDI model of economic regeneration was replicated by other multilateral agencies in Tsunami affected regions.
