Chennai-based Prof C.K. Prahalad Centre for Emerging Indian is planning to give entrepreneurship training in rural West Bengal.
Run by Loyola Alumni Association of Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA), the institution is currently involved in three different studies in the districts of Tamil Nadu.
“We may soon give training in rural Bengal, if there is demand. We will first do a research on any particular work and then try to help them accordingly,” Mr. Fr. N Casimirraj S. J, director, Loyola Alumni Association, told newspersons at an event organised by MCC Chamber of Commerce and Industry here on Monday.
Mr Casimirraj added that the institution would train people and small business in local language using the state's talent pool. The institution has also identified venture capitalists to fund entrepreneurs at the ‘bottom of the pyramid'. “We have identified venture capitalist to fund the rural entrepreneurs. So far, four American universities have shown interest to work with us,” he added.
