Unemployment is a chronic problem in most of the developing and underdeveloped countries. Entrepreneurs play an effective role in reducing the problem of unemployment in the country which in turn clears the path towards economic development of the nation.

Entrepreneurship is the way to get an opportunity to lead an independent and honourable life and at the same time enable others in getting gainful employment.

Economic development of a country is the outcome of purposeful human activity.

Several schemes like Nehru Rozgar Yojna, National Rural Employment Programme (NREP), Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP) etc. have been initiated by the Government of India in this direction. The thrust of all these schemes is to eliminate poverty and generate gainful employment opportunities for the unemployed.

Entrepreneurship Awareness Camp (EAC) and its objectives

With a view to expose students as well as faculty of academic institutions, offering degree/diploma courses in S&T, to various facets of entrepreneurship as an alternative career and also to highlight the merits of pursuing such an option, Entrepreneurship Awareness Camps are conducted by nodal agencies in each State/Union Territory of the country.

Target Group

The target group comprises Science and Technology graduates/diploma holders or those who are doing their final year diploma/degree in Engineering/Technology/Science.

Each EAC will be of 3 days duration with 75 participants who will be exposed to different aspects of entrepreneurship, including opportunity guidance, services offered by agencies of support system etc. A visit to the industries located in the region will also be arranged to bring the students in direct touch with practicing entrepreneurs.
