Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs)

Micro enterprise development through EDP training, skilling and short term apprenticeship and hand holding will be provided through Rural Self Employment Training Institutes (RSETIs), which are being set up in all the districts in the country in partnership with the Public Sector Banks. Consequent upon the decision of the Government to set up one RSETI in each district of the country, it was decided to set up 500 RSETIs throughout the country during the 11th five year plan period (2007-08 to 2011-12). Coupled with about 122 RSETIs set up by the banks on their own initiative, it was expected that all the districts in the country (about 622) would be covered under the initiative. Against the above target, up to 31st March, 2012, 509 RSETIs have started functioning of which 214 have been supported by the Ministry of Rural Development.
