The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) is looking at imparting training to at least five lakh entrepreneurs every year from 2010.
"Last year we have trained about 1.8 lakh people through the various institutes under the Ministry as against 1.2 lakh in the previous year. The institutions have been asked to step it up and the plan is to reach five lakh mark by 2010," Dinesh Rai, Secretary, Union Ministry of MSME, said.
Rai was interacting with mediapersons on the sidelines of an event organised by the National Institute for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (NIMSME) to announce the launch of two national programmes in Hyderabad recently.
He also said the Skill Development Corporation, which was announced by the Finance Minister, Mr P Chidambaram, in this year's Budget, is in the final stages of its formation.
"All the necessary clearances have been obtained and will be in existence soon," Rai added.
