Entrepreneurship is widely acknowledged as a vital engine of a country's economic success. Even the Indian government recognizes the value of entrepreneurship and has implemented initiatives such as "Make in India" and "Start-up India."
The Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) of the NRI Institute of Technology (NRIIT) seeks to foster and promote entrepreneurial abilities among aspiring professionals interested in launching their own businesses. The institution provides infrastructural and technical assistance to students who have unique ideas for new goods and services that will benefit society. All hopefuls are also assisted by the EDC with coaching, planning, and execution of their start-up idea into an actual business. The EDC has a pool of sponsors, including banks, national entrepreneurship training organizations, and suppliers, who are eager to assist aspiring entrepreneurs.
As a result, an Entrepreneurship Development Cell was founded in the college, with a dedicated team of actively working faculty with professional experience, as well as some student representatives. Aspiring engineer entrepreneurs are given the required inputs on how to be a successful entrepreneur through workshops and seminars conducted by experts in the field. We encourage students to consider self-employment as a career option at NRIIT, and we offer the essential training in entrepreneurship skills through structured courses. The cell also organizes various activities and events on a regular basis to train and motivate students regarding entrepreneurship.
