About Program

Entrepreneurship in recent times has become a serious area with focus on creating businesses & start-ups. It is considered to be a wealth creator, generating employment and providing new goods and services. It is an attitude, a way of thinking. It goes beyond simply starting a company. In other words, not, all people who start their own organizations can necessarily be categorized as entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs challenge assumptions, recognize opportunities in periods of change & reveal patterns where others see chaos and mobilize limited resource to achieve objective.

Objective

Running a small or medium enterprise takes a huge equal amount of courage and a pinch of madness too. However, the most important attribute ought to be passion & creativity.

It is often called ‘thinking outside the box’ and is all about avoiding the more normal, the most orthodox, the prosaic solution, and thinking innovatively to tackle a problem. Everyone has potential to be creative; it just needs to be harnessed, nurtured and strengthened. Learning a new art form has been shown to be one of the best methods to develop creative skills for problem

solving, something that is of immense value in running a business. Prof. Ajay Ruhela Director, FOE, while interacting with the students talked about two successful people.

First story based on an India born American a mathematician by profession who realize that a company manufacturing a weather monitoring system is in a big cost. Then he designed and developed a low-cost weather monitoring system for society which became very popular in India. He is from mathematics background but he follows his own passion.

Sapling: An initiative

The earlier initiative taken by the FOΞDC, E-Cell on the continuation of the trend of giving bouquet to our loved ones as a symbol of care and love. But with this ever-growing world and mind sets, E-Cell has initiated a new idea which can be a revolutionary change in the art of giving a unique souvenir to our beloved ones with its own ecological and social benefits. FOΞDC, has decided to put forward a step towards a new and eco-friendly way of fulfilling the ceremonies of relations. The outset of offering living plants has sparked a new era of making the eco-system healthy along with the social

relations as well. This idea is valuable as environmental point of view. It is because when we give such living entities to any of our dignitaries, it spreads the greenery and various biological blessings of nature throughout the world. The plants, when offered are just small enough to be carried without any difficulty and can be planted in the more fertile soil like in the gardens of your homes and offices as well. These small living creatures can be grown as big as a large tree if their caring is optimally adjusted. its value is reflected when it depicts as an epitome for carving a new thinking of caring and respect for yourself and for the precious eco-system. This new idea taken by

Student Feed Back I have attended several workshops but this workshop on Entrepreneurship lighted up a fire inside me to make up a new plan by realizing or seeking the problem around us, finding a solution and executing it with the right positioning. Under the guidance of our Chief Guest, Prof. P. B. Singh and other skilled experts, Dr. Vaishali Dhingra, Prof. Ajay Ruhela, Mr. Mahendra K Gupta, we got the opportunity to enhance new ideas in order to achieve success by thinking and plan ideas out of the box. I was very influenced by a line said by Prof. P. B. Singh that the "Man is influenced by the company he keeps". In addition to this, he said that-"Our social circle should be qualitative not quantitative". It was a great opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful camp, which would help to trace our paths towards Success.

Anshika Sehgal (B. Sc [H] Chemistry)

This was my first workshop on Entrepreneurship. Everyone wants to be his/her own Boss in any field and if we talk about our jobs, then I saw my relatives that how they were frustrated with their job but they have to do it because they have no other option for earning. Decision and time are two factor which leads to a successful life. In this Camp, I feel that if I can think out of box, an idea to solve problem for society and execute it, which makes me happy.

Manali Sharma (B. Sc [H] Chemistry)

The very first camp attended today, was proved to be very valuable. As far as my personal views regarding this camp is concerned, I can probably say surely will spark the idea in my mind to initiate something big and unique. The valuable words delivered by the galaxy of intellectuals have taught me various concepts and ethics of a successful start-up and even make me realize the important components of life which lead to success. I am feeling fortunate to be a part of this valuable camp.
