Abstract

Generally speaking the number of entrepreneurs emerging from the Scheduled Caste (SC) Community is much less than that from the general caste. This does not, however mean that entrepreneurial characteristics are not to be found in this community. It has been generally accepted that entrepreneurs are not only born but also can be trained and developed. In fact, there is no society devoid of entrepreneurial characteristics. There is urgent need to take up systematic efforts to develop entrepreneurship among the SC youth. In this paper an Action Plan has been suggested for developing entrepreneurship among the SC Youth so that they can take up entrepreneurial career. The paper emphasis collaborative effort from the Government, promotional organisations, banks and financial institutions and the entrepreneurs themselves to achieve the desired result.
