EDC “Seedling” lending hands to new ideas
In a country like India, where there is still a huge potential for new businesses to flourish, thanks to the heterogeneous nature of its society, culture, economy and demography, becoming an entrepreneur should be a natural choice for any young Graduate/Post-Graduate. The current Prime Minister of India, Sh. Narendra Modi has also provided impetus to the entrepreneurial activity in the country through launching of the ‘Startup India’ scheme which provides a host of benefits and removes a lot of entry barriers for a fresh startup. Due to the emerging scenario of entrepreneurs, the Institute has launched its Entrepreneurship Development (ED) cell named “Seedling” after having taken various initiatives in this direction over the past years. The Cell was inaugurated by Sh. Chander Shekhar Khare – IAS, Deputy Commissioner Panipat, Haryana and Sh. Tirlok Gupta, Assistant Director, Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) on June 9, 2016 in the Institute premises.
Starting of new ventures by young entrepreneurs is the best strategy to combat the economic slowdown being currently faced by the entire world. Keeping this in mind, the Chairman of ED Cell, Dr Saurabh Garg, coordinated numerous activities to promote the spirit of entrepreneurship among students, over the past years.
Objectives of ED Cell
- To develop spirit of entrepreneurship among the students.
