Conclave on Entrepreneurship organized by AICTE

 

Ms. Pratibha Sharma, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon attended a one-day Conclave on Entrepreneurship Education organized by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) on 19th September 2014 at Hotel Ashok, Chankyapuri, New Delhi from 9.00 AM to 5.30 PM.  The Conclave was inaugurated by Smt. Smriti Zubin Irani, Minister of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India. The Conclave focused on the relevance and importance of Entrepreneurship, Start ups and incubation centers in Academic Institutions.

During the Inaugural Speech, Smt. Smriti Irani said that Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are ranked fourth on a list of 50 best entrepreneurial undergraduate institutes in the world.
