Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs)

The RSETIs (Rural Self Employment Training Institutes) have been set up with a view to develop entrepreneurial skills in youth to enable them to set up their own ventures with or without the help of bank credit. At present we are having 21 RSETIs out of which 17 are set up by PNB, 3 by Canara Bank, and  1 by SBI. Dedicated institutions designed as to ensure necessary skill training and skill up gradation of the rural BPL youth to mitigate the unemployment problem. The RSETIs are expected to select at least 70% of the trainees from the BPL category. This is 100% funded programme of MoRD.
