The Entrepreneurship Development Cell (ED Cell) has started with the objective for promoting specialized knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship development, innovation and creative ideas. In view of the worldwide shortage of jobs (both government and private sectors) and lack of proper utilization of human resources; the ED Cell strives to identify talented youth and motivate them to entrepreneurial and innovation works. The centre plans to develop various innovative ideas with the young entrepreneurs and local youth.
- Creating awareness among the students of the college and the community regarding entrepreneurship as a career option.
- To create an entrepreneurship eco-system in the college, where students would learn the technicalities of entrepreneurship and become job providers instead of job seekers.
- To produce entrepreneurs who will not only upscale their businesses but also become the part of national development.
- To provide our students one of the best training and development and impart best practices of entrepreneurship through our well trained and well qualified faculty members.
