Perceiving the need to promote lateral and independent thinking, creativity and innovation - the entrepreneurial attributes required to make a mark- EDI has designed and successfully implemented training programmes and workshops for the academia under the mandate of this Centre.
With economic reforms in the country, and with the virtual removal of all trade barriers, the world is now our market - and our opportunity! However, it is the method of pursuit and the opportunity that is identified which determines our success. This requires an indomitable spirit of entrepreneurship and the two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Management – Business Entrepreneurship teaches these very aspects to the students. Targeting both, the pupil and the master, a two pronged approach has been adopted with Faculty Development Programmes for the academicians on the one hand and Summer Camps for the youth and children, 'to catch them young', on the other. 'The Open Learning Programme in Entrepreneurship & Business Management', a notable and major activity of the Institute has gained firm grounds across the nation in imparting entrepreneurship education through distance learning to those who nurture the desire to be an entrepreneur but find time a major constraint in its pursuit. In the same direction are the programmes on entrepreneurship and Family Business Management instituted at several colleges across the nations, like the Jain Group of Institutions, Bangalore. One-day entrepreneurship orientation camps also endorse the charms of being an entrepreneur. Customized programmes for the corporate sector have also beckoned many a big industrial house to turn their managers into intrapreneurs who can generate bigger milestones for the company.
In order to justify its mandate, the EDI continues with its mission to nurture and promote entrepreneurial spirit and competencies by conducting research in the area of entrepreneurship. The biennial conference is one such platform that is devoted to honing this discipline so that it can be better delivered.
The Centre activities are a testimony to EDI propelling the pace of entrepreneurial empowerment for the teachers and the taught through education.
