Market Stall in India

Srinagar, India. Twenty young people have formed a commercial floriculture co-operative as part of a state government Entrepreneur Development Program (EDP). The Entrepreneur Development Program marks a shift in the mind set of the younger generation away from the idea of seeking white collar jobs in the government sector and instead creating jobs not only for themselves but also for others.

The government will organise another 15 EDPs in the areas of Commercial Floriculture, Food Processing, Textile Manufacturing, Export Business, Cultivation and Marketing of Medicinal Plants and other related areas.
