About the Entrepreneurship Awareness Camp

Great thinkers and visionaries all over the world have repeatedly predicted India as one of the future

driver of the global economy. The National Knowledge Commission in its‟ report has strongly

emphasized the role of education in catalyzing Entrepreneurship, especially in the highly skilled and

knowledge-driven sectors. Though entrepreneurship is not new to India, however entrepreneurship as

a subject in Technical/Technology institutions, most Professional Education Institutions would like to

see their students as entrepreneurs and would also like to be a part of the mainstream in

entrepreneurship development process. Entrepreneurship as a career option is gaining momentum

only recently as the emergence of knowledge based technopreneurs all over the world. Like any other

field, entrepreneurship as a subject studies and entrepreneurship as a practice are two different things.

Since the objective of the entire studies is for facing the examination, there is hardly any effort in

developing the skill and motivation of entrepreneurship within the curriculum. Keeping in view to

create awareness among students and faculty of engineering about various facets of entrepreneurship

as an alternative career option, an „Entrepreneurship Awareness Program‟ is designed to bring

together the experts from academia, industries, government agencies and start-up companies. It will

also explore the possible business opportunities and create all necessary awareness to start a business

unit as per government procedures.

PROGRAM REPORT

Association of Royal Mechanical Engineering Students (ARMES) of S. G. Balekundri

Institute of Technology, Belagavi in association with Visvesvaraya Technological University

to 8th

October 2016.

The program was inaugurated by Mr. T. Siddanna, Joint Director, District Industries

Center, Belagavi. In his Speech he opined that new industries sustain only with new products

and new ideas. India is driver of the global economy of 21st century. Today India requires job

providers, than job seekers. The challenge for today‟s technopreneurs is to make use of

naturally and locally available resources. The government and DIC are supporting new

entrepreneurs by providing the first hand information. Many details are available on

departmental website and guidance cell is open around the clock to help the young

entrepreneurs. The government is ready to pay one crore rupees in the form of loan to start a

right project.

Mr. Karthik P. Nayak Managing Director, PRNJCB, Dharwad, the Guest of Honour

of the occasion informed the gathering about the characteristics of the entrepreneurship. To

become a successful entrepreneur the vision and leadership are the pillars which are built on

the foundation of self confidence. In today‟s competitive business world even running the

family business is also a big challenge because the expectations of the costumer are the

changed with time. Today‟s mantra is “No Need to Do Different Things, but Do the Things

Differently”. Because of the attraction, people are running towards East and becoming

entrepreneurs there only. But it is our duty to pay back something to the place of birth.
