Abstract
Historically whatever development has been initiated and sustained, the crucial agent of change have been the entrepreneur. They were who innovate and create new product or process and find new markets. The importance of entrepreneurship has now been widely accepted by policymakers and scholars. This is because of growing emphasis on the role of medium and small scale enterprises in view of their contribution to employment generation, regional development and economic growth. In any sphere of activity the need for training has been recognized as a necessity to achieve meaningful and reasonably good results .The objective of any entrepreneurial training institute is to develop potential entrepreneurs, enabling them to establish and manage enterprise successfully. Experience shows that the entrepreneurs do not respond spontaneously to available business opportunities despite various incentives and inducements .In order to gear up entrepreneurship among entrepreneurs we need sound & strong training institutions which identify, motivate and strengthen the new class of entrepreneurs. One of the major objectives of the present study is to find out the practices of entrepreneurship development followed in the Himachal Pradesh and their contribution towards the development of SSI units. To start with the institution which are sponsoring EDPs has been identified and information regarding their performance has been obtained. Thereafter the institutions which are conducting EDPs have been approached and needed data for determining the present practices of entrepreneurship development have been collected with the help of questionnaires .
