About Training of Trainers on Entrepreneurship Development (ToT-ED)
Runs online over Google Meet from 28 September to 02 October 2026, 10:00 to 13:00. The syllabus reads like a founder course, covering government schemes, mentoring, IPR, quality systems, bankable business plans and DPRs, the startup ecosystem, digital marketing, finance and taxation, compliances and registrations, and export documentation. It is not one.
Who can apply
- Training officers running entrepreneurship development programmes
