Assam is a land with lack of Entrepreneurs. Though nature and technology has bestowed us all but here people does not take the initiative to come forward and utilise the nature and technology along with their skill. This is due to lack of guidance, lack of support and lack of adequate knowledge.
Thus, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) has taken the toll of guiding the budding entrepreneurs of the nation and with this motive they conduct regular skill enhancement courses through out the nation.
MSME under RCVT conducted a 1 month training programme each on Garment Construction, Hardware and Networking and Accounting with Tally. Experienced team of faculties both from RCVT and outside RCVT taught the MSME students the way to sustain life by adopting Entrepreneurship through these given courses. The selected students took due advantage of these courses. Regular supervision by MSME officials made the execution of this programme , a success without any flaw.
The people from interior of Assam possess great skill and enthusiasm but due to their locations, their skill remains unnoticed. RB Foundation has identified these hidden skills and encouraged many to identify and enhance their skills through training and Entrepreneural programmes.
During 2012, RB Foundation conducted a Training programme for SC women folk of Raha, Boko and Chhaygaon. During this training programme, few women were identified to have great skill but due to poor financial condition, their skill remained within the four walls of their houses. This year on 9th November, under a scheme from Director of Scheduled Castes, RB Foundation provided professional training and free sewing machine to these selected skilled women group.
