Micro Enterprise Development Programme

Micro Enterprise Development Programme

Only group formation and management trainings are not sufficient, if we really want to see the rural women SHGs active, productive and economically sound. We need to develop their entrepreneurship qualities and to give them practical training on the specific activities of their choice. SNEHPAD, in collaboration with NABARD, every year organises Micro Enterprise Development Programmes (MEDP) for selected matured SHGs. In the MEDPs the trainee groups are given training on Managerial, Financial and Practical Issues related with SHG development. During the year 2013-14, SNEHPAD organised 5 numbers of MEDPs in the following places under NABARD sponsorship.
