ABSTRACT :
Designing Policy Framework For Smart Entrepreneurship And Self-Reliant Smart Village Economy: : An Entrepreneurial Funnel Framework.
Smart village is a relatively new and innovative concept in rural development policy. This paper aims at emphasizing the need for smart villages; and sets out the policy framework for smart village development and smart entrepreneurship towards making self-reliant smart village economy. The designed policy framework integrates two inter linked and inter dependent parts: (I) framework for smart village development, and (II) funnel framework for smart entrepreneurship.
The first framework for smart village development consists of two major steps which includes selection process of a village and formation of expert consortiums of specialized development institutions. Some important consortiums which essentially required for smart village development are consortiums for the development of infrastructure, health, education, agriculture, hygiene & sanitation, e-governance and entrepreneurship development.
The second framework is called as funnel framework for smart entrepreneurship development in the selected village with six entrepreneurial steps consisting of awareness-cum-promotion, competency assessment / mapping, capacity building (basic & advanced stage), business support in enterprises setup and lastly performance measurement including mentoring towards attaining business sustainability. The entrepreneurial funnel framework clearly illustrates that the approximate turnout rate of rural participants’ decreases over the every next stage of entrepreneurial interventions / activities and it finally reaches to about 5-8 per cent level (potential entrepreneurs) who successfully completes all specified stages as per the framework to start their enterprise.
The policy framework was designed on evidence based observations and experiences of various village adoption s (VAP) including the successful interventions under the smarTgram project in the state of Haryana (India). The study has policy implication for making smart villages in the country. The entrepreneurial funnel approach provides policy guidelines for smart entrepreneurship development for making self-reliant smart-village economy.
