Abstract
Unemployment is a major economic and social problem in India. It is more so in
rural India. Self-employment of the rural youth is considered to be an effective way of
tackling the problem of unemployment and building up rural economy. The Rural
Development and Self-Employment Training (RUDSET) Institute, having realised this,
has been organising Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDP's) for
unemployed rural youth for product-making, processing, general-purpose and agriculture
since 1982 in seven districts of Karnataka.
The present study aims at (1) identifying the characteristics of the RUDSET
Institute beneficiaries which promote self-employment and (2) estimating the time taken
for self-employment. The statistical tools employed for these are respectively logistic
regression and survival analysis. Also (3) the return per rupee invested by the Institute is
computed for seven centres and four EDP's.
The data consists of 348 beneficiaries including 126 women sampled from the seven
centres (Bangalore, Bijapur, Brahmavar, Chitradurga, Dharwad, Mysore and Ujire)
across four EDP's.
