Three days from idea to business plan
The Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) is a three-day certificate programme conducted under the Mukhyamantri Swayam Rojgar Yojana (MSRY) — the Government of Goa's flagship self-employment scheme. It is designed for anyone who wants to start a business but isn't sure where to begin.
Over three days you'll move from understanding what entrepreneurship actually demands, to handling money and legal compliance, to marketing your product — and finally to the government schemes and institutions that can fund and support you.
The programme is hosted by the Sankhali Engineers Association (SEA) in association with EDC Limited, the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII) and the Government of Goa.
