Social Infrastructure

Entrepreneurship

In general, there is lack of entrepreneurial initiative among the local people except at Hosur andsome other pockets. The low literacy rate makes the people to concentrate more on agriculturethan industry. So, entrepreneurial talent is confined to very few places like Hosur, Dharmapuriand Krishnagiri towns. In the rest of the places people are engaged in cultivation and alliedactivities.

The District Industries Centre, Dharmapuri takes efforts to impart entrepreneurship talent amongrural masses through Entrepreneur Development Programmes (EDPs) in various places, therebymotivating people to start their own ventures. Some of the training programmes are conductedexclusively for women candidates.

Small Industries Service Institute, Chennai also conducts various Entrepreneur DevelopmentProgrammes in the district.

The Rural Extension Training Centre functioning at Krishnagiri Dam also imparts skill amongthe youth in different trades.

PMRY Scheme

The PMRY scheme of the Government of India implemented through the DIC, Dharmapuri alsohelps, to some extent, in developing entrepreneurship among the people belonging toeconomically weaker sections by starting self-employment ventures with the financial assistance

available under the scheme.

There has been a fluctuation in achievement under the PMRY Scheme both in the no. of cases aswell as amount financed. In terms of no. of cases, the achievement was far below the target inmany years.

A sum of Rs. 102.49 lakhs has been earmarked during 2001-02 for the PMRY Schemes, underwhich any ventures like manufacturing, servicing or trading enterprises can be started.
