ROLE OF LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT IN LED Following the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments, decentralization efforts in the country have received increasing emphasis. Government of Kerala decentralized all relevant functions to local institutions with an adequate financial backing and transfer of staff from the line departments clearly marks a new era in decentralization within the state. In Kerala, LED could be implemented for a village panchayat, block, district or a municipal township area. Local self Governments of Kerala have made immense progress in the infrastructure development of their area. However, the efforts to entrepreneurship development are to be further sharpened. CONCLUSION For Economic Development, there are various business models such as Rural Business Hubs, Technology Parks, Industrial estates etc. All these have its own uniqueness. However, a Business Incubator will provide not only the logistic support to the entrepreneurs but also provide business advocacy services for its survival and growth. This business incubator should ]be managed by professionals and should develop a business model for its own growth. It was observed that for social cause Common Facility Centres have been initiated. However, without a sustainable business model, these CFCs are not able to survive. While advocating a Business Incubator for Local Economic Development, it is necessary to develop a sustainable business model for the incubators survival. This model will pave vistas for developing business as well as a creating entrepreneurial society.

INTRODUCTION It has been reported that two third of the Sri Lankan population who have been involved with agricultural production living in the rural areas (DCS,2010). The GDP contribution of the Agriculture sector in Sri Lanka in 2010 was estimated as 12.6 percent (DCS, 2010/2009). Out of which GDP contribution by cash crop sector was estimated to be 10.7 percent (CBSL, 2010). Red onion is one of the valuable and prominent cash crops of the dry and intermediate zones of Sri Lanka which fetches considerable income to the cultivators. In Sri Lanka, the production of red onion was around 51,200 MT harvested from 5276 ha in the year of 2008 (Suthamathy, et al, 2011). In Jaffna, among all the cash crops red onion is one of the successful cash crops to cultivate and is expected to generate considerable income to the farmers. Even though Jaffna district has high potential for red onion production, farmers are still finding difficulty in obtaining a reasonable and stable price for their produce. Particularly the red onion market in Jaffna district is susceptible to price uncertainties. www.theinternationaljournal.org > RJEBS: Volume: 02, Number: 06, April-2013 Page 45
