This Cell has been instituted with the sole purpose of helping students in their enterprising dreams. We believe there is an entrepreneur in every student. But, they ignore it for various reasons, ranging from a lack of support from families and society, academic pressures, a lack of guidance in materializing the business plans, etc. We help the students overcome the barriers by hand-holding, supporting, and guiding them in their endeavors.
