India has recently developed into the fourth-largest economy in the world. According to the United Nations' mid-year report on the World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP), India is projected to be the fastest-growing major economy in the world for the current fiscal year, with a growth rate of 6.3%. India's robust focus on employment generation through entrepreneurship development is considered the key driver of this growth. Recognising the role of entrepreneurship development as the growth engine for the Indian economy, the Government of India has been focusing on imparting education on entrepreneurship to develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the economy. This has led to the publication of numerous books on entrepreneurship in recent years. The following features of the present Fifth Edition of the book titled Entrepreneurial Development' distinguish it from other books. Key Features: Retention of the intent and contents of the previous editions of the book. Addition of emerging and deletion of obsolete contents in the subject over the period. Enlargement and improvement in the existing contents. Incorporation of class assignments and case studies to blend theory with practice. Explanation of Key Terms used in the book under the Glossary at the end of the book. Written in lucid language and a self-learning style as the hallmarks of the book.
