clip_image002.jpg
October this year, India woke up to innovation, ideation and entrepreneurship, for E-Cell launched its pan-India initiative, the Entrepreneurship Awareness Drive 2010, a mammoth initiative of reaching out to the collegiate fraternity of 15 cities across India. Starting on 9th October at Patna, graced by the August presence of Irfan Alam, Gyanesh Pandey and K.P. Keshri, we travelled on to Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Vishakapatnam, Bhopal, Pune, Noida, Jalandhar, Bhubaneshwar, Chandigarh, Jamshedpur and concluding at our home-camp, Kharagpur, all in a span of 15 days. In each of these cities, a workshop, termed Entrepreneurship Awareness Camp (EAC) by an eminent personality was organized, in association with a prominent college of the city.

Through this endeavour of ours, we have reached out directly to over 5000 students, from over 150 college across India and to around another 10000 students, through the media. Everywhere that EAD visited, it left in its wake a group of students inspired to startup on their own, and dispelled various myths about entrepreneurship that students today have.
