Bharathidasan University has become one of the seven varsities in Tamil Nadu which will have entrepreneurship and innovation career hub at a cost of ₹15 crore. Prime Minister Narendra Modi digitally announced the launch of these hubs from Sher-e-Kashmir international convention centre (SKICC), Srinagar, on Sunday.
The hub will function as a separate entity in the university which will be registered under the companies act. The university will invite innovative ideas from students and develop them into a business model.
“We have been orienting students and faculty members on application-based research which will benefit society. Similarly, we are pushing for improving the rate of patent filing from the university. This funding is timely and we will make optimal use of it to give shape to innovative ideas from students,” he said. “We will rope in valuable resources and services to assist the students apart from providing career awareness, career information, and career planning,” vice-chancellor P Manisankar said.
“Under this programme, about 2.36 lakh students of Bharathidasan University, including those from 151 affiliated colleges, will benefit,” the vicechancellor said. The hub will be realized using a part of ₹50 crore given to university by ministry of human resource department under Rashtriya Utchar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) Phase – II which includes funding for research projects.
