Entrepreneurship Awareness Camp (EAC):

“To create awareness among faculty and students of Engineering and Science courses about various facets of entrepreneurship as an alternative career option as also to highlight the merits of pursuing such an option.”

With a view to exposing students as well as faculty of academic institutions, offering degree/diploma courses in S&T, to entrepreneurship as an alternative career, Entrepreneurship Awareness Camps (EACs) are conducted by nodal agencies in each State/Union Territory of the country. The implementing agency is usually either an educational institution or a professional body specializing in entrepreneurship development.

Each Camp, of 3 days duration, is conducted in the premises of an academic institution and aims at creating awareness among students about various facets of entrepreneurship while highlighting the merits of pursuing such a career option. In each EAC, about 75 students are 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 is also arranged to bring the students in direct touch with practicing entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP):

“A program designed to help an individual in strengthening his/her entrepreneurial motive and in acquiring skills and capabilities necessary for playing his entrepreneurial role effectively”

An Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP), of 6-8 weeks’ duration, aims at training the S&T graduates and the diploma holders in the essentials of conceiving, planning, initiating and launching an economic activity or an enterprise successfully.

Faculty Development Program (FDP):

A Faculty Development Programme (FDP) is designed to train and develop professionals in entrepreneurship development so that they can act as resource persons in guiding and motivating young S&T persons to take up entrepreneurship as a career. Through each FDP, 15-20 faculty members of Science and Engineering colleges, Polytechnics and Entrepreneurship Development Organisations are trained for a duration of 2-3 weeks.

The FDPs provide inputs on process and practice of entrepreneurship development, communication, and interpersonal skills, creativity, problem-solving, achievement motivation training, inputs on resource and knowledge industries. The training methodology includes case studies, group discussion, games, and simulation exercise, field visits and classroom lectures.
