Role of NGOs in the rural entrepreneurship development.
Today, we have several NGOs contributing to entrepreneurship development in the country. To develop the entrepreneurship there are three types of NGOs –
Primary level NGOs - who mobilize their own resources, operate at international level, and executes development activities themselves or through intermediate.
Intermediate NGOs – who procure funds from various agencies, import training and conduct workshops for the target work force.
Grass root level NGOs – who conduct field activities by establishing direct contact with the grass root people.
The role of NGOs in developing the rural entrepreneurship are as follows-
1. Stimulation: Conducting entrepreneurship development programs (EDPs) and other training programs for the target people with a view to stimulate enterprising attitude among them.
2. Counseling: Providing counseling and consultancy services to the needy ones how to prepare a project feasibility report, purchase a plant and machinery, and performing other procedural activities.
