CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News /Agencies/ Bhopal: The two-day annual flagship event ‘Imprenditore 5.0’, organised by the E-Cell at Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV), began with enthusiasm. The main objective of the programme is to promote entrepreneurship, technical skills and practical problem-solving abilities among students. On the first day, students participated enthusiastically in various technical and business competitions such as a hackathon, venture hunt, stock market simulation and startup exhibition.
On the occasion, RGPV Vice-Chancellor Prof. Alok Sharma motivated students and said the university is fully committed to promoting an environment of innovation, research and entrepreneurship. He appealed to students to use technology and innovation to contribute to the progress of the country and the state, and to become job creators rather than job seekers.
Addressing the speaker session, TNP Director Prof. Rupam Gupta said, “Employment is not limited only to a job. All major startups begin from a small room. Failure is not the opposite of success, but the other side of the same coin.”
SOIT Director Prof. Sanjeev Sharma said students’ enthusiasm is increasing with each edition. He described pitching, effective presentation of ideas and fundraising skills as important.
UIT Director Prof. S.S. Bhadoria explained the meaning of the word ‘Imprenditore’ (Italian for ‘entrepreneur’) and stressed making entrepreneurship part of the curriculum. He said, “If you find a better solution to even a small problem in society, you can establish your identity at the global level.”
In the session, ElaintTogether CEO Piyush Shah also shared his experiences with students. Through the event, young people received a direct opportunity to understand the technical and non-technical nuances of the industry.
