In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving world, entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business; it's about thinking differently, embracing challenges, leveraging opportunities and reaching that level of success which even an extremely high-paying job can’t provide. 

Entrepreneurship helps to cultivate the behaviour of students and budding professionals, orienting them towards entrepreneurial opportunities. It aims to educate learners about the institutional support available for entrepreneurial development while motivating them to seize opportunities in their vicinity.

The expected outcomes of the course include transforming the identity of students into that of entrepreneurs, enabling them to embrace the mindset and skills necessary for entrepreneurial success. Additionally, the course seeks to organize and empower potential entrepreneurs from their native places, helping them leverage local resources and networks. It also aims to enhance their communication skills, allowing them to grasp and act on entrepreneurial opportunities effectively. Moreover, the course fosters the creation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem within their respective areas of interest, encouraging collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth in the local context. Through this holistic approach, learners will be better equipped to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape, build successful ventures, and contribute to the development of their communities.
