MCED Kolhapur

party employment. At MCED, there is always the hummable buzz of people discussing, brainstorming, making plans and revamping shelved ideas. The thrum of work and the exciting buzz of activity is an indelible part of the work culture. MCED is also an incredibly technology savvy organization which, not surprisingly, is amongst the few offices to enforce the paperless office concept. This relaxed and fertile office environment has been nurtured by the lack of a formal overseer as is the case in other organizations. The Governing Council is the policy making authority of this premier organization and Executive Committee is looking after day-to-day administration of the Centre. Structure of the Governance

Governing Council makes the guidepost decisions, but the driving force of the organization has always been the sheer determination of the employees. The training that is delivered across a wide range of core specializations must have the business angle and the necessary parameters in place, to ensure sustainable quality and uniformity. This work is overseen by the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee does the pulse checking of the organization and trickles down the macro perspective to the root level, as is part and parcel of any organization. The Executive Committee is answerable to the Governing Council and is headed by the Managing Director of Maharashtra Small Scale Industries Development Corporation (MSSIDC). Growth and Expansion of MCED

From the time that MCED first maneuvered uncharted territory in the state where ‘entrepreneurship training’ was unheard of, even less known was this nascent organization that was christened as ‘Maharashtra Centre for Entrepreneurship Development’ in short, MCED. MCED is phonetically pronounced as ‘em-ced’. With a handful of employees, trained at the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDI-I) Ahmedabad, the eventual fate and destiny of the organization was, at that time, unknown and could only be guessed at. The organization restructured and played on the opportunities that the country’s tumultuous political and social scenario threw up and in its ‘opportunist’ plan of growth and expansion, it has grown into the leviathan giant in entrepreneurship training that it is now.
