Need of promoting entrepreneurship at institution level for engineering students in India

The growth of the Indian economy lies on entrepreneurs. There is a need for developing entrepreneurship among the engineering college students from the starting of their technical education. In addition to the engineering education, they should also be equipped with the entrepreneurship skills through promotion schemes and program like business incubators. The business incubators program should develop young entrepreneurs. This not only offers self-employment but also teaches to earn at young age. The potential skills of the engineering students should be identified and they must be moulded to start their own business after their engineering education. There are few engineering institutions which have entrepreneurship centres which run entrepreneurship program to help the students in starting their own business. This paper discusses about the status of the entrepreneurship in India and explains the need of entrepreneurship education at the engineering institutions.
