ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT CELL
An entrepreneur is an owner or manager of a business enterprise who makes money through risk and initiative.
The term was originally a loanword from French and was first defined by the Irish-French economist Richard
Cantillon.
Entrepreneur in English is a term applied to a person who is willing to help launch a new venture or enterprise and
accept full responsibility for the outcome. Jean-Baptiste Say, a French economist, is believed to have coined the
word "entrepreneur" in the 19th century - he defined an entrepreneur as "one who undertakes an enterprise,
especially a contractor, acting as intermediary between capital and labour". A broader definition by Say: "The
entrepreneur shifts economic resources out of lower and into higher productivity and greater yield."
Entrepreneurship Development Centre (EDC) scheme aims to set up a cell where the skills required to become an
Entrepreneur are developed.
