What is the News?
Around 102 Community Resource Persons-Enterprise Promotion(CRP-EP) have been certified under the Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme(SVEP).
Background:
SVEP is a sub-scheme under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission(DAY-NRLM).
The program supports the Self-Help Group (SHG) members and their family members to set up small enterprises in the non-farm sector.
The program supports them by developing an ecosystem for enterprise development in rural areas, consisting of Community Enterprise Fund (CEF) for enterprise funding and Cadre of Community Resource Persons-Enterprise Promotion(CRP-EP) for providing Business Support Services.
What does the Cadre of Community Resource Persons-Enterprise Promotion(CRP-EP) do?
CRP-EP provides Business Support Services in rural areas. The services provided by them include preparation of business plans, training, and accessing loans from Banks.
They are selected from the community where the program is being implemented, as they understand the local context and their familiarity with the NRLM ecosystem.
Moreover, they are also trained before they start working with the entrepreneurs.
