Entrepreneurship Development Cell

The economic growth and development of any nation depend largely on the entrepreneurs who are willing to start new businesses thus creating jobs, and contribute to improvement in various key aspects such as GDP, exports, the standard of living, skills development and community development. Keeping all these economy driving factors at the forefront, Govt. of India has laid stress upon the importance of entrepreneurship and has introduced many flagship schemes like "Make in India" & "Start-up India"

With the aim of contributing and strengthening the economic prowess of India and introducing the concept of “Job Providers rather than Seekers”, the Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) was started two years back at Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, to hone the entrepreneurial set of skills in the budding professionals.
