The OSF centres will provide business development services to existing entrepreneurs in order to enable them to evaluate business proposals, identify the support requirement and provide all kinds of support and assistance for setting up their enterprise.
Amity University training business development support providers in WB to enhance rural livelihood
Amity University in collaboration with the Ministry of Rural Development and World Bank, is training 15 Business Development Support Providers (BDSPSs) of One-Stop Facility (OSF) in West Bengal under the state rural livelihood mission. These OSFs are available in 11 districts and the training will get over by the end of August 2023.
The OSF centres will provide business development services to existing entrepreneurs in order to enable them to evaluate business proposals, identify the support requirement and provide all kinds of support and assistance for setting up their enterprise, the University said in a statement.
National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM), partly aided by the World Bank, aims to create institutional platforms for the rural poor, to help them increase their household income. It has also set up self help groups that will provide capitalization support.
As these enterprises grow, they need finance and handholding support. Hence One-Stop Facility (OSF) centres have been set up at the sub-district level to provide professional business development services to nano-enterprises.
State Mission Director and CEO of West Bengal State Rural Livelihood Mission (WBSRLM) Smita Pandey, said, “We are extremely glad to partner with Amity University for conducting the training programmes in various districts of West Bengal. This collaboration will be highly beneficial as the West Bengal State Rural Livelihoods Mission aims at creating efficient and effective institutional platforms of the rural poor, enabling them to increase their household income through sustainable livelihood enhancements and improved access to financial and public services."
