FOREWORD

Entrepreneurship and Talent Development Cell has completed 2 years now. In

the second year from its inception, the cell has taken remarkable steps by

organizing a series of skill-enhancing workshops for students, members of Self

Help Groups(SHG), etc. “Young Minds”, a campus company ( a company-like

formation of students) was commenced to let students not just learn skills, but

also practice them. “Vyapar”, a trade fair organized by students is yet another

manifestation of entrepreneurial and management skills.

On the talent development front, a bunch of guest lectures and interactions with

corporate persons were organized to facilitate deeper understanding of

corporate affairs. Again, student presentations organized every week under

“Corporate Gateway” that provides a platform for students to learn, analyze

and present various issues of corporate world. Apart from shaping their

employable skills, the cell went on further in arranging in-off campus placements

and got them employed.

A glance at the numbers will highlight the noteworthy efforts taken by the cell -

13 student workshops, 1 workshop for SHG members, 672 persons learning new

skills through workshops, 10 placements, 230 student-hour presentations of

corporate affairs, etc.

As many opportunities unfold, we step into the third year with renewed focus,

increased scope and heightened enthusiasm and hope to reach and include

many more students in our fold.
