[Link] & Support
System
Focus on Conversion Rate – Strong Follow Up
Organizing Trainees – “Entrepreneur Club” started. Every
Saturday is celebrated as Common meeting day for
discussion, sharing problems etc
Initiated alliance with RTI promoting institutions and
Making TEDSS trainees part of information programme
“Ghoose ko Ghusa” so that Trainees can understand their
rights since transparent credit access is the biggest
impediment in Bundelkhand for enterprise setup
Improved screening of potential candidates for training has
been introduced. While this increases the mobilisation time
it filters out clients who have little potential to become
entrepreneurs
3. Linkage - Training
Training linkage with other technical training
providing Institutions (EDP Support and to
magnify the EP array) –
Animal Husbandry Department (UP Govt.)
The Worm Man, (Vermicomposting)
District Industry Commission (Trainings like Mobile
Repairing etc)
Hathkargha Board
Linkage with other training agencies are in pipe line
[Link] – Financial
Several Routine programmes have been
started to ensure the linkage

Sustainability Strategy
Strongly Followed –
Training Fees and support charges
Advertisement & Sponsorships in Training
Manuals etc
Consultancy fees and support charges from
other training organizations
The more enterprise setups , the maximum
possibility of programme adoptability among
community would emerge thus “few
conversions are better then , training thousand
peoples”
