Entrepreneurship Development Clubs

The government has also proposed Entrepreneurship Development Clubs which will be established as non-profit societies, to be run by students and will be responsible for promoting and coordinating all entrepreneurial activities in the colleges with the nodal incubators in the state.

Each club will have a CEO, a CFO, CTO, CCO, CMO and a COO.

The innovative ideas will be passed to the nodal incubators via these clubs for incubation and business mentoring.

These clubs will be formed by February 15 in colleges and boot camps will be organized in each institution.
