Rationale Entrepreneurship is the professional application of knowledge, skills and competencies and/or of monetizing a new idea, by an individual or a set of people by launching an enterprise de novo or diversifying from an existing one (distinct from seeking self-employment as in a profession or trade), thus to pursue growth while generating wealth, employment and social good. If it is to make a success of the coveted appeal 'Make in India' for growth and employment generation, we need to stimulate the entrepreneurial mindsets of young people, encourage innovative business start-ups, and foster a culture that is friendlier to entrepreneurship. The important role of education in promoting more entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviours is now widely recognised. The myth that entrepreneurs are born, no more holds good, rather it is well recognised now that the entrepreneurs can be created and nurtured through appropriate interventions in the form of entrepreneurship development programmes. Sinhgad Institutes, the leaders in developing human resources, are determined to churn out technoentrepreneurs on a continuous basis with some modulation and change in focus, which would accelerate the process of economic development and growth. Sinhgad Institutes have undertaken the role to blend technical inputs with entrepreneurial and managerial skills in their academic programmes and train S&T person for entrepreneurial challenges. Entrepreneurship refers to an individual s ability to turn ideas into action and is therefore a key competence for all, helping young people to be more creative and self-confident in whatever they undertake. At higher education level, the primary purpose of entrepreneurship education should be to develop entrepreneurial capacities and mindsets.

We have been promoting Entrepreneurship since our establishment and we must say that the entrepreneurial culture has firmly embedded itself in minds of several students to pursue their dreams. We are committed for transformation in the Indian Economy by offering a readymade platform to students and spearheading the entrepreneurship movement that leads to Future India capacity building. So, we are planning to launch ambitious program called SEED across our campuses very soon. About SEED: Strengthening Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development {SEED} is an attempt to bridge the gap between technology education and entrepreneurial skill-set development. SEED is an pilot initiative to encourage education in entrepreneurship awareness throughout the nation with a belief that entrepreneurs need not necessarily be born, but can be developed through wellconceived and well-directed activities. In order to incline our youths towards giving ENTREPRENEURSHIP CELL SINHGAD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, PUNE 2016 59
