Aim: To ignite the spirit of entrepreneurship and encourage them to think creatively and help them identify and solve problems of the
society.
Objectives
To act as an institutional mechanism for providing various services including information on all aspect of enterprise building to budding
S&T entrepreneurs.
To fill the gaps in the form of trained faculty and focused programmes to inculcate entrepreneurial spirit amongst the Science and
Technology (S&T) persons.
To create Entrepreneurial culture in the college and other institutions in the region, including programmes related to women and weaker
sections of the society.
To foster better linkages between the College, Industries and R&D institutions in the region and other related organisations engaged in
promoting Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Non-Government Organisations (NGOs).
To build the following skills in the student feternity.
Organizing skill: Since the E-cell is typically run by the students, they learn how to organize various activities from end-to-end. This
requires them to coordinate with different stakeholders, bring consensus among them and align them to chase the single goal.
Team building skill: Any activity requires multiple people support to execute it successfully. Students learn to find the right person for the
right job. They also learn to trust their team member and encourage them to finish the tasks. They also understand that to achieve any
goal, they need to take their team along. In a real entrepreneurial journey, as they say, a Class B idea with Class A team is better than
Class A idea with Class B team.
Sales & Marketing skill: This is one quality that every entrepreneur must learn. The college campus company activity allows the students
to sell their products or services to the customers in real time.
Convincing Skill: To achieve success in your entrepreneurial journey, you need to learn to take your team along and this essentially
requires lots of convincing skill. The e-cell activities provide an excellent platform to hone this skill.
Relationship building: In order to execute the events, a student has to liaison with various college departments/authorities and get
things done from them. Hence relationship building becomes very critical for the success.
Knowledge about compliance: Students have to run pillar to post to get the necessary permission & approval from the management to
organize the events. They cannot break the rules and work within the constraint. This I equate to the various compliance related
work that an entrepreneur requires to do during the startup journey.
Sponsorship: Sometimes students have to find the sponsors to fund their events/activities. This is equal to finding investors in the
entrepreneurial journey.
