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.
