Maharashtra state is noticed as the industrially developed state in India. Lot of industrialisation took place in the state through which lot of employment is generated. But it is noticed that Maharashtrian people are less as industrialists and more as servants. To overcome this situation and change the mindset of Maharashtrian people to become entrepreneurs, Maharashtra State promoted an institute in 1988 named "Maharashtra Centre for Entrepreneurship Development" (MCED) as a joint venture of state level industrial development corporations viz. SICOM, MSFC, MSSIDC, MIDC, MELTRON & MITCON to train the youths in entrepreneurship. Thus the institute carries the responsibility alongwith its monthly marathi magazine, 'Udyojak' to systematically train the youth in entrepreneurship. Over a period of time, Udyojak is getting valuable response from its readers, subscribers, well wishers, promoting institute, officials, industrialists, un-employed youths, students, masses to develop the entrepreneurs. 'Udyojak' contains articles on various products, market, management, interviews of prominent industrialists, project reports, Govt.schemes, special articles for women, which helps readers to develop the ideas.

This magazine is a sort of Entrepreneurship Development Programme for the public at large. Udyojak receives thousands of letters from the readers asking for more details, which is a definite landmark for the success for this magazine.

It is therefore appealed to help this magazine in "Entrepreneurising the Society", which will boost its morale further.
