The programme is being organized under the banner of Skills Acquisition and Knowledge Awareness for Livelihood Promotion (SANKALP) by district administration Ramban.
SANKALP was launched by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India. It works for Institutional Strengthening at National, State and District level; Quality Assurance of skill development programmes and Inclusion of marginalized population in skill development programmes.
“It is true that the participants present here have undergone skill training in their chosen fields, but a successful business owner must also understand the latest nuances of doing business.

Innovation and technology will define your business and will make it unique and successful,” said Ajaz Ahmad Bhat, Director, JKEDI.
During the 5-day EDP, the participants will be apprised about basic business concepts like business plan formulation, marketing plans, accounts management, and many other topics of relevance, so that they can successfully run their businesses. The participants have already received sector-specific short-term technical training in their chosen businesses, and now will benefit from JKEDI’s specially curated training modules.
