• To develop capacity in students to display intrapreneur zeal to support the organizations
where they serve as employees.

The Context
In response to the crying need of India for entrepreneurship and innovation, this initiative
was born. Many students of the University have a family business background, with needs to
overcome stagnation or negative growth. In line with the vision of the University, the
government’s thrust on ‘Make in India’ and the success of Alumni, the practice encourages the
students to be entrepreneurial.
Many bright students tend to make a career in a MNC, as it is well paying and secure. They also
lack the courage to take risks and fear failure. Moreover, parents except those from business
backgrounds discourage their children to be on their own. The students lack exposure to
networking, emerging trends, business references, mentoring, counselling, opportunities and
requisite training to understand the complexities of business, the regulatory framework,
statutory compliances, funding avenues and the other aspects of the business environment.
This initiative helps them to overcome these.
The Practice
The highlights of the practice are:
About Entrepreneurship for beginners – Facilitating a certificate course offered to students
by Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII) an institution of National
importance.
Entrepreneurs on Training (EOT), is a platform allowing students to nurture, polish and
showcase their entrepreneurial zeal. This helps students to learn the corporate and business
skills while they pursue studies, mentored by experts from start-ups and alumni.
Skill Building activity - The selected students undergo focussed learning along with hands-
on experience to gain confidence, identify opportunities to enter the market either as a trainee
or a micro entrepreneur.
