About Rural Nano Entrepreneurship Program (RNEP) <\/h2>\n

A grassroots initiative of BCT\u2013GIC aimed at promoting livelihood-oriented micro and nano enterprises in rural areas, with a particular focus on women and persons with disabilities above 35 years of age. During the period October 2025 to February 2026, the programme conducted entrepreneur training across Anakapalli and parts of Visakhapatnam districts, positioning itself as a bridge between self-help driven enterprise ideas and structured incubation support.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \"\"\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

\n
From Idea to Impact<\/blockquote>\n
GIC supports entrepreneurs across the\njourney \u2014 from validating an idea to building a\nproduct, entering the market and scaling the enterprise.  <\/blockquote>\n
Why Rural Entrepreneurship Matters<\/blockquote>\n
Rural communities possess inherent knowledge, resources and entrepreneurial potential. However,\nentrepreneurs often face barriers such as limited access to technology,\nfinance, mentorship, markets and business networks.<\/blockquote>\n

Entrepreneurship Without Barriers <\/h3>\n

Entrepreneurship does not require\nhigh levels of formal education.\nOur programme reports most entrepreneurs have SSC or\nbelow<\/b> as their educational qualification, with a significant proportion\nhaving studied between 5th and 9th standard or having no formal education.\nDespite these educational backgrounds, many participants\nsuccessfully established and sustained businesses. 
\n
The programme has supported 73 Persons with Disabilities\n(PwDs)<\/b> in entrepreneurship, demonstrating our commitment to inclusive\nlivelihood development.
