The Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) of our Institute was established on its own initiative on 4th March 2011. The Cell was inaugurated by Dr. A. Arunachalam, Adaikalamatha College, and presided over by Dr. Manimegalay, Director, Center for Women’s Studies, Bharathidasan University, Trichy.
The objective of the EDC is to promote entrepreneurship among youth and nurture a spirit of self-employment. It seeks to create a platform for innovative, knowledge-based ventures and to transform job seekers into job creators. Through these efforts, the Cell contributes to the nation’s progress toward industrial excellence and self-reliance.
