A week long Workshop on Entrepreneurship Development for
Faculty members and Budding Entrepreneurs (27th Jan -31 Jan 2015)
India is
steadily marching ahead with its Development story since its liberalization of
the economy in 1991. This has created a wide arena of opportunities, for those
interested to start their own Enterprise. Further, the atmosphere for New
Enterprise creation in India has been improving day by day, due to formulation
of a number of Entrepreneur friendly policies by the Government and Banks.
Another
important factor that is an advantage for India in the future is its rich Human
Resource, wherein India is the hotbed of people in their Young age, that is in
the age group of 18 years to 40 years, only next to China.
In this
scenario, the role of Educational Institutions becomes very crucial to ensure
the supply of Entrepreneurs to our society, and at this juncture it is the
prime responsibility of all the Educational Institutions in the country today,
to develop their students as “JOB CREATORS” rather than “JOB SEEKERS.” The Govt
of India has announced a number of programs to support such Educational
Institutions involved in Entrepreneurship Development. For this to happen, the
Faculties / Teachers of different educational institutions have to be trained
up as Trainers in Entrepreneurship, so that they can motivate the students in
their campus to take up Entrepreneurship. This requires equipping them with
training methodologies related to various aspects of Entrepreneurship.
With this
background, The Entrepreneurship Cell of BNMIT, Department of Management
Studies organized a Five Day Workshop
on Entrepreneurship Development in association with Entrepreneurship
Development Institute of India, Ahmedabad (EDI) from 27-31st
January, 2015.
EDI is a National Level Apex Institute involved in Training,
Education and Research in Entrepreneurship since 1983. The institute is
promoted by major Industrial Banks viz, IDBI Ltd, SBI, ICICI Ltd, IFCI Ltd and
Govt of Gujarat and EDI has been the National Implementing Agency for various
Government Departments related to Entrepreneurship Development such as
Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Food Processing,
Ministry of Industries and Commerce etc.
The facilitators for this workshop
included senior officials from Government Departments such as Department of
Industries and Commerce-GOK, Department of IT &BT- GOK, Senior Bankers,
Successful Entrepreneur, EDII Faculty and senior BNMIT Faculty.
This workshop covered a wide range
of topics such as Business Idea Generation, Creativity and Innovation in
Entrepreneurship, Business Planning Process and Institutional support,
Governmental Support, Social and Rural Entrepreneurship.
VTU was also pleased to
endorse the program and sent letters to all affiliated colleges urging them to
nominate faculty members. More 12 colleges throughout Karnataka send their representatives
to this workshop and 45 participants including internal faculty members
participated in this workshop. They have received Certificate from
EDII. The participants also felt that such programme would
be extremely useful to the candidates and institutions in NBA and NAAC
accreditation process.
