Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) This is expected to be a support system for technocrats and entrepreneurs. The Entrepreneurs Development Cell set up under the scheme is expected to act as a tool to promote entrepreneurship and self-employment amongst technical students as an attractive and viable career option. An entrepreneur is an owner or manager of a business enterprise who makes money through risk and initiative. The term was originally a loanword from French and was first defined by the Irish-French economist Richard Cantillon. Entrepreneur in English is a term applied to a person who is willing to help launch a new venture or enterprise and accept full responsibility for the outcome. Jean-Baptiste Say, a French economist, is believed to have coined the word "entrepreneur" in the 19th century he defined an entrepreneur as "one who undertakes an enterprise, especially a contractor, acting as intermediary between capital and labour". A broader definition by Say: "The entrepreneur shifts economic resources out of lower and into higher productivity and greater yield." Entrepreneurship Development Centre (EDC) scheme aims to set up a cell where the skills required for being an Entrepreneur are developed. 1 2 3 4 5 Eligibility of the Institute Eligibility of the Coordinator Duration of the Project Limit of Funding Disbursement of grant AICTE approved Institutes / AICTE approved University Departments Full time regular Faculty Two Years 5Lakhs Advance

Finishing School Scheme (FSS) Employability of Engineering Graduates and their ability to deliver to industry expectation after they are hired has been a matter of concern and engaging the attention of academics and industry alike. Low industry readiness of fresh hires has resulted in long duration training programs affecting both productivity and cost of operations in highly competitive industry. Institutes also face diverse challenges like shortage of skilled faculty and lack of clarity on what Industry requires. Inability to make students industry ready due to lack of clarity on how to design courses that help students become more professional team player and better communicator is only adding to the problem. Experts in this line of thought opine that the students, though educated are seldom employable, as they lack skills in areas which are most sought after by the industry. The training on employability skills will help them connect with industry before they step into employment. Providing such training would have twin benefits, firstly, the students are well-prepared to enter the job market, which will positively impact their productivity at the workplace and secondly, companies will be spared of the huge amounts of investments required in pre employment training, especially in areas like soft skills. The programme will give them self confident in their profession. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Eligibility of the Institute Eligibility of the Coordinator Duration of the Programme Limit of Funding Disbursement of grant Relevant Documents Expected Outcome Processing Methodology AICTE approved Govt and Govt aided Institutes and NITs Full time regular Faculty 8 weeks after graduation and 12 weeks for students who are currently enrolled 2 Lakhs for batch of 30 students Reimburse on submission of documents mentioned in 6. ment Project completion report with Payment & Receipt A/c,Utilization Certificate.

AICTE INAE Distinguished Visiting Professorship (DVP) The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE), founded in 1987 comprises a Fellowship of the most distinguished engineers, engineer-scientists and technologists of India and abroad from the entire spectrum of engineering disciplines. It is a peer body of engineering professionals with the aim to promote and advance the practice of engineering and technology, related science disciplines and their applications to problems of national importance. It also encourages inventions, scientific investigations, and research in pursuit of excellence in the field of engineering. Activities of the Academy include, research projects, pilot studies, technical education, fellowships, recognitions and awards and programmes on issues of technology policy and overall development for the benefit of the society and other benefactions.

It has long been felt that there is a need for active linkages between industry and engineering institutions which not only enrich the curriculum contents but also add another dimension to the existing systems of continuing education programmes, extension lectures and consultancy by faculty. Technology developed through academic and R&D institutions generally falls short of the needs of the industry for design and manufacture of new products and for engineering services to meet the demands of the customers and challenges of market competition. This gap can be narrowed down through a coordinated approach ensuring closer interactions among industry, R&D institutions and the academia, through institutionalized mechanisms. Active programmes should be established for regular visits of experts from industry to address students, academic and scientific staff and to spend a few days at campuses for participating in teaching or research. The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) launched a Distinguished Visiting Professorship (DVP) Scheme jointly with AICTE in 1999. The Scheme envisages promotion of industry-institute interaction by facilitating the dissemination of knowledge through the expertise of experienced and knowledgeable persons from industry to integrate their rich industrial experience with technical education. The Scheme has received very enthusiastic response from industry and engineering research institutions over the years. Thirteen Industry Experts were selected during the year 2000; eighteen each in 2001 and 2002; fourteen in 2003; ten in 2004; thirteen in 2005; fourteen during the year 2006, fifteen during 2007; eleven during 2008; eighteen during the year 2009, nine during the year 2010 and seven during the year 2011 by a high level selection committee of experts from Academia, Industry and representatives from AICTE and CII. The scheme has been running successfully and has received good response from industry as well as engineering colleges/institutions. The success of the scheme is largely attributed to active participation of experts from renowned industries like TATA Steel, Larsen & Toubro Ltd., Hinduja Automotive Limited, ArcelorMittal, JK Industries Ltd Kirloskar Brothers Limited, TVS Motor Company Ltd., Tata Consulting Services, GE India Technology Centre Pvt Ltd, ST Microelectronics, Grasim Industries Limited, Bharat Earth Movers Ltd, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd, M/s IP Rings, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, Andromedia Communications Pvt Ltd, Solar Semiconductor Pvt Ltd, Tata Research Development & Design Centre, Aditya Birla Group (Cement Division) and Jindal Stainless Steels Ltd etc.
