What We Do

Tedco Awards

TAMILNADU ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (TEDCO) is a non-government and not-for-profit organization that works towards the sustainable development of MSMEs, Entrepreneurs, and Farmers, sectors that are making a remarkable contribution to the state’s GDP, employment, and exports.

Globally MSMEs play a vital role in the economic development of a nation. In India, while MSMEs contribute about 45% to the manufacturing sector, and 40% to exports, it also has the highest share of employment in India, with a contribution of around 69%. Tamilnadu being the second largest industrialized state in India, constitutes 12% of the total number of MSMEs in the country. These impressive figures illustrate the contribution of MSMEs to Tamil Nadu’s economy. Likewise, the agriculture sector contributes 13% to Tamilnadu’s GDP and around 60% to employment.

Veetukku Oru Startup

The main objective of this Veetukku Oru Startup is to provide opportunities for every household to have knowledge and skills that has the potential to generate income. It can be young people, women, or old people, who can do business from home. There are 2.25 crore families in Tamil Nadu. Our aim is to create awareness and understanding about entrepreneurship among one crore families and convert about 10 lakh people into entrepreneurs.

TEDCO believes that a start-up awareness beyond this one lakh people will enable more families to achieve their economic development and self-sufficiency.
