About the Institute
JKEDI was established by the Government of J&K in March 1997 as a society of the Government of Jammu & Kashmir to help the Government in conceptualizing, formulating and implementing strategies for creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship development in the state. The Institute was given the mandate to help, train and mentor aspiring and practicing entrepreneurs through awareness, education, training, consultancy and research.
The Institute started its regular activities from February, 2004 and has since been playing a significant role in creating a pro-entrepreneurial environment to foster the progress and prosperity of the State. The Institute is established in three regional centres at Srinagar, Jammu and Leh.

The Institute in its short period of existence has been able to position itself as a learning centre par excellence having state of art infrastructure in all its campuses. The Institute currently functions out of three campuses; one each in the provinces of Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh. The institute plans to have sub-regional campuses in all the 22 districts of the State.
