A well developed Small and Micro Entrepreneurship sector has proven to be one of the most veritable channels to combat poverty and making society economically independent. A large number of people are looking forward for new economic opportunities and the means to take up Self employment / Entrepreneurship. This need of attaining economic self-sufficiency has been increasingly realized by all developing countries. The strengthening of SMEs is important for not only export promotion but also import substitution. The up-liftment of SMEs can reduce the chronic problem of unemployment and at the same time satisfy the starving markets for a number of products. Over the last few years Governments, NGOs and donor agencies have become aware of the ardent necessity of developing Entrepreneurship for the economic balancing of a Nation. Promoting SMEs thus needs an integrated approach, requiring identification and adoption of appropriate methodologies and capability building in EntrepreneurshipDevelopment.
