Goa’s progression in the field of entrepreneurship is unparalleled. In line with its mission of spreading awareness about entrepreneurship and encouraging young minds, EDII with the support of EDC Limited, has been consistently organizing specialised training programmes.
During the last two months, the EDII – Goa Centre, under the CSR initiative of EDC Limited, conducted 14 Entrepreneurship Awareness Programmes (EAPs), sensitizing over 734 youths across the state. The programmes were designed to create awareness about the benefits of pursuing entrepreneurship as a career option. Alongside these, 3 three-day Entrepreneurship Development Programmes were conducted at Panaji, where 145 participants were equipped with practical skills important for effective business management.
EDII-Goa Centre reached a milestone through its involvement in the Mukhyamantri Swayam Rojgar Yojana (MSRY). MSRY is a flagship initiative of the Government of Goa, launched to promote self-employment, innovation and entrepreneurship across the State. Implemented by EDC Limited in collaboration with EDII – Goa Centre, under the overall supervision of the Directorate of Industries, Trade, and Commerce (DITC), the scheme aims to foster a vibrant and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem. After the launch of scheme, EDII-Goa Centre under MSRY conducted 10 Entrepreneurship Awareness Programmes, promoting state-wide entrepreneurial culture through education and community outreach. These programmes reached out to more than 600 students.
In alignment with the vision of building a pool of trained faculty mentors in the education and skilling sectors by 2030, capable of nurturing students to take up entrepreneurship as a career, EDII-Goa centre organized One Day Sensitization Workshops for Faculty Members. Three Workshops successfully trained 145 faculty members. These initiatives and continuous efforts will help establish Goa as a model entrepreneurial state.
