Udyamita Udaan E-Newsletter 2022

Abstract

SVEP has established itself as the ecosystem provider for nano enterprises in the rural areas. EDII has been at the front from the inception of the Programme and has provided its technical services to SRLMs in actualizing programme objectives. A consultative meeting was organized by the NRLM from 25th to 27th of the month to discuss changes in the guidelines of OSF, Cluster and SVEP. It was agreed that the guidelines need to change as learning accumulates and the programme matures. It should also factor in the geographical peculiarities of the North Eastern states. The discussions hovered around the proposed Micro Enterprise Development (MED) programme and its layering over the existing SVEP and OSF programme areas. Secondly, viability and the usefulness of the PTS platform as the program monitor were discussed. The moot question was whether the PTS was needed at all or whether a smaller section of the enterprises could be used to gauge the programme effectiveness and take strategic decisions. Incubation for scalable enterprises also came up for discussion. On the whole, it was felt that the policies and the guidelines should be in tune to address the new realities for greater scale of outcomes. As far as the cumulative progress at the end of the month is concerned, till date, we have paved the path for 71,789 enterprises to take shape of success. This e-newsletter brings to you a glimpse of programme implementation and its general direction across the programme area.
