Government of Madhya Pradesh has launched a comprehensive entrepreneurship support programme in August 2014 named Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Yojana (Chief Minister Young Entrepreneur Scheme http://www.dif.mp.gov.in/schemewiseTarAllo/MMYUYojana.pdf) wherein any resident of Madhya Pradesh aged between 18-40 years with minimum qualification of class 10th can make an application through the General Manager, District Industry Centre for setting up a new small scale enterprise in the industry/ service sector for an amount of INR 10 lakh to 1 crore. The scheme is implemented by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Employment. In 2016 , UNDP and Government of Madhya Pradesh have entered into a partnership to build an institutional structure to provide marketing support and capacity building for Entrepreneurs under the scheme. The partnership aims to provide relevant, context specific training and hand-holding support to 5000 entrepreneurs supported under the scheme and build their capacities in relevant areas of entrepreneurship development and marketing. Currently training to 2500 entrepreneurs is underway in all the districts of the state in a phased manner and is expected to be completed by the end of March 2017. The training module has been finalized in consultation with faculty from Indian Institute of Management, Indore after a training needs assessment and a participatory module development workshop at Indore.
