Abstract
Unemployment is one of the biggest challenges that India has been facing in the
process of its development. Millions of unemployed youth particularly from rural and
semi-urban background who could not access higher/professional education but are
oriented towards white collar jobs are driven to despair for not finding a job. In these
circumstances Rural Development & Self Employment Training Institute [RUDSETI]
was established in the year 1982 jointly by Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara
Educational Trust, Syndicate Bank and Canara Bank under the visionary leadership of
Dr D Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala. Encouraged by the
success of RUDSET, Ministry of Rural Development GOVT India replicated RUDSTI
model at all India level and advised all the Banks to establish one RUDSETI type
institute in each of their Lead Districts by name Rural Self-Employment Training
Institute (RSETI) for training the rural unemployed youth to take up self employment
ventures during 2008-09. With the various initiatives taken by the sponsoring Banks
and the continuous mentoring and monitoring of all the RSETIs, as at the end of
March 2013, 3,37,290 unemployed youth were trained by 549 functional RSETIs
across the country during the year 2012-13 out of which 68% of the candidates have
been successful in establishing their own enterprises and earning on their own Present
