Rural Development & Self Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI)
Millions of unemployed youth particularly from rural and semi-urban background who could not access higher/professional education but oriented towards white-collar jobs are driven to despair for not finding a job. Of late, these distressed youth are attracted towards antisocial activities for their livelihood. This tremendous waste of human resources and mismatch of potentiality with productive deployment has baffled the planners and administrators. It is under these circumstances that Rural Development & Self Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI), a unique initiative in mitigating the problem of unemployment was started in 1982 by Dr D Veerendra Heggade, a Visionary leader, President of Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Educational Trust and Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala, supported by Syndicate Bank and Canara Bank. The collective thinking gave concrete shape in providing an institutional framework in the form of Rural Development & Self Employment Training Institute (RUDSETI) in 1982.
