Title of the Practice

Active Entrepreneurship Cell

  1. Objectives of the Practice

The Main objective behind creation of this cell is to spread knowledge about entrepreneurship. Inculcate the passion and spirit among students to pursue entrepreneurship by motivating students to develop their own start-ups. The cell tries to   connect the interested student entrepreneurs with different agencies or institutions who provide training, loans and legal help to establish their start ups. Develop networking of the students with the different seed money proving funding agencies.

  1. The Context

It was observed that less than 10% of the students got direct employment through college after their graduation by the endeavour of Career Counselling and NCC. The college was visited by Industries Promotion Officer, RIC, Rayagada who gave a pathway for students to be able to register under MSME department. The National Job Scenario moved towards job creation shifting from job seeking and the college decided to create entrepreneurial spirit in its students as a result of which the Entrepreneurship Cell was established in 2019 which is located in the Commerce Block of our College. After initiation by the college, experts were invited to address the prospects of entrepreneurship. The invitees constitute bodies and personnel for example Industries promotion Officer, RIC, Rayagada, Branch Manager, SBI, Rayagada, Project Head, BYST, Rayagada, General Manager, JK Paper Mill, MSME Department, Rayagada. Since this is the only institute in southern Odisha to adopt such practice we decided to pursue the development of this cell for development of students and local economy.

  1. The Practice

Faculty Training:

We encourage the faculty members for getting trained in firms like Bharatiya Yuva Shaki Trust (BYST), JK Paper, Rayagada under Mentor Development Program. We invited field experts and industry Personnel to suggest changes in modus operandi which may result in better functioning and result creation.

Student Training:

The faculty involved in the cell have visited all departments and presented the idea of entrepreneurship as a way of employment. Programs were conducted inviting experts from various agencies to educate the students on procedure and motivate them to pursue their own idea. The college in collaboration with BYST conducted Business Idea contest. We have also conducted necessary training programs depending on student needs like awareness program, Youth entrepreneurship program, start up opportunities program. The program hosted speakers like:Mr. Prakash Sukla, Project Head, BYST, Rayagada, Mr. Praveen Kumar Lima, Cluster Head, BYST, Rayagada, Mr. Sabyasachi Sahoo, Industries Promotion Officer, RIC, Rayagada, Mr. Bijaya Kumar Sahoo, Regional Manager, GIET, Gunupur, Mr. Debasis Mahapatra, Asst. Professor, GIET, Gunupur, Mr. A. Chiranjibi Rambabu Achary, Asst. Professor, GIET, Gunupur, Miss. Y Sree Lakshmi, Founder, Epitome Training & Recruitment Consultant , Indore, Miss. P. Sravanti, Training Officer, BYST, Rayagada, Mr. Ashok kumar Satapathy, field Officer, BYST, Rayagada, Prof. Ranjeet Kumar Padhy, Associate Dean, Astha School of Management, BBSR, Prof. Bhagaban Behera, Associate Professor, BIITM, BBSR, Prof. Manish Goyenka, NLP Practitioner, Motivational speaker, Prof. Jenasish Mohanty, Associate Dean, Astha School of Management, BBSR.

Continuous Counselling:

We have provided the option for all student to walk into the cell on any Saturday between 4 pm to 5 pm to discuss their idea or ask for any help necessary.

  1. Evidence of Success

Two Students A. Srikant and L Geeta qualified for final selection for Share & Travel, Manufacturing of Herbal Beauty production BYST Business Idea Contest in District level after six rounds of elimination. Another student S Kamala has started two online businesses one with sale of Arts and Crafts as gifts and other in cosmetics.

  1. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

The college caters to mainly first generation learners with shaky financial background and therefore are initially unwilling to open up to entrepreneurial spirit. We were cautioned that colleges were not eligible to host an incubation center or create a seed fund. Training of staff and students face problems due to remote location and unwillingness of resource persons to visit.

The students would be enormously benefitted if a seed fund could be created and a designated training personnel employed as the designated trainer.
