EDC conducts various programmes to foster the Entrepreneurial spirit

amongst the students of our institution and the community. The programmes are

carried out by conducting Entrepreneurship Awareness Camps (EACs), which

can be both general and Technically-specific in nature, over 2 to 3-Days duration.

An extended version of the EACs is the Entrepreneurship Development

Programmes (EDPs) which runs for a duration of 2 to 4-weeks. The aim of both

the programmes is to apprise the participants about the various Entrepreneurial

opportunities that are existent and the support they can derive from EDC and all

the agencies/ organizations which work with us. Participants of the EDPs are

usually counseled and a follow-up mechanism is in place to track their progress in

their respective projects. The cell functions since 2011, under AICTE with
