 The Origin

• After the Second World War, concern for economic

development became all-pervasive. There was a growing
concern for economic development and this
strengthened interest in entrepreneurship with primary
focus on exploring practical measures to augment the
supply of entrepreneurs, This resulted in the belief in
education and training to inculcate and develop
entrepreneurial capabilities in people so that they could
set up their own enterprises. Subsequently programmes
directed towards this goal were conceptualised.
 The Origin (Cont…)

• The idea took a concrete shape when the Industrial

Development Bank of India, showed keen interest in
the Gujarat experiment, joined hands with Industrial
Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI),
Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI), State
Bank of India (SBI) and sponsored this national-level
institution. The Government of Gujarat also
expressed its willingness to support it. Thus the
Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India
(EDI) came into existence in the year 1983.
