One Day EDP for 2006 Batch

Entrepreneurship Development Program: The Motivation Campaign for Entrepreneurship was organized for the benefit of the final year students of our college, pertaining to three departments – Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering & Electrical & Electronics Engineering.  Our Chairman & Founder Mr. M.K.S. Sreenivasan, presided, and appealed to the students to entertain the thought of starting their own industrial organizations, after a few years of industrial exposure.  Becoming an entrepreneur is not only adding to one's own prosperity, but strengthening the fabric of our economy, as also serving the society at large.
