ENTREPRENEURSHIP-EDUCATION
Faculty Development Programme In Entrepreneurship
(How to teach students to set up small business ventures)
(How to teach students to set up small business ventures)
Rationale:
Few until recently believed that entrepreneurs
could be created through educational endeavors, or that Entrepreneurship could
be a matter of teaching/training. Initially educational interventions in
Entrepreneurship were given less importance but after a series of successful
demonstrations by scholars like Prof. David McClelland and others, it was
proved that entrepreneurs could be created through teaching, training and
counseling interventions as well. Progress since then has been swift and now
Entrepreneurship Development has become almost a movement. While a large number
of organizations are focusing on Entrepreneurship training, not much emphasis
has been given to promote Entrepreneurship through educational interventions,
particularly in our country. The need of the hour, therefore, is to make
Entrepreneurship Development more effective by imparting relevant education
focusing on developing entrepreneurial competencies, skills in identifying a
viable business opportunity & preparing business plan, knowledge on how to
mobilize resources and manage an enterprise. The most crucial change agents,
however, in the process of developing young entrepreneurs are teachers with
adequate skills, knowledge and information in the area of Entrepreneurship. Keeping
this in view, the National Science & Technology Entrepreneurship
Development Board (NSTEDB), Department of Science and Technology (DST),
Government of India, took the initiative of introducing Entrepreneurship in the
academic curricula of science & technology institutions and also in setting
up Entrepreneurship Development Cells in many of them. Entrepreneurship
Development Institute of India (EDI) on the basis of interactions with
educationists, students and entrepreneurship professionals designed a module on
Faculty Development Programme (FDP) and has been implementing it successfully
across the country and elsewhere. The Institute has been receiving enthusiastic
response for this programme from the academic community.
