Warangal: Saint Louis University Professor Sridhar Condoor on Friday said that without change there is no innovation, creativity and incentive for improvement and those, who initiate change, would have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable.
Addressing the gathering at SR Engineering College on the launch of Nest for Entrepreneurship in Science and Technology (NEST), an Entrepreneurship centre, he said that creativity and entrepreneurship are the need of the hour, and educational institutions have a major role to play in this regard. The NEST has been kick started under Make 'n' Market 3.0 banner.
He appreciated the interest of the students of this region towards maker's movement by crossing 480 registrations against 370 last year. He said India is most hot place to start a venture, because of its attracting demographics and rapid changing psychographics.
Head of NEST Centre Suman Naredla has informed that Make 'n' Market 3.0, mega entrepreneurial event of this region has attracted 480 teams for registration. Students across both the Telugu States had registered for the event. On eve of kick start day, a seed capital of five hundred rupees is distributed to the teams, to meet product or working prototype development expense. However, world class maker space facilities can be utilized at SRiX Incubator by registered teams at free of cost.
Teams are expected to ideate on a concept and design a product in five weeks of time, before they come back again to Make N Market 2.0 mega Expo day, mostly on September 14.
Student coordinators of NEST, SR Engineering College will guide the registered teams in the process of designing the product or prototype. On the day of exhibit or even before, the teams can exercise selling their products to customers and they need to convince the customer to lend on Expo day. Entire event is initiated with an objective to inculcate the spirit and culture of entrepreneurship in this region and Warangal in particular.
Make 'n' Market is supported by SRiX Incubator, Wadhwani foundation, Stumagz.
Principal, Dr V Mahesh said that students are more curious, logical and interested in solving projects, rather than classroom learning. All these would help in creating an Entrepreneurial community. In last version of Make 'n' Market 2.0, students have attempted to find solutions for water scarcity, waste management, alternative renewable energies, smart grid solutions, accident preventions, smart agriculture and others. This has set a standard for this time participants to stretch beyond.
