Introduction

The Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CED) is a premier Organization of the Government of Gujarat engaged in Entrepreneurship Development Training since 1979 and Skill Development since 2009.

"In the era of cut-throat competition, self-employment allows an individual to become self-reliant and economically sound by channeling 100% effort into their own enterprise."

The core concept behind CED is to develop entrepreneurs in both urban and rural areas, aiding the state's economic growth and creating employment opportunities for others.
