Jalandhar December 11 (Jaswinder Singh Azad)- A one-day workshop was organized for teachers of various schools of Punjab on the topic ‘Mentoring Budding Entrepreneurs from Labs to Markets’ under ‘Swavalambi Bharat Abhiyan’ at Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar. Dr. Ashish Arora, Head, Department of Business School, GNDU Regional Campus, was present as the keynote speaker in this workshop.
Expressing his views on the topic ‘Mentoring Budding Entrepreneurs from Labs to Markets’, Dr. Arora said that entrepreneurship is not a matter of teaching but of practice. He said that today’s young generation has many new ideas but they need the right means and guidance to take them forward. He said that before working on any new idea, it should be new, in public interest and also it should have a commercial basis. He added that during the school days, teenage students are so much fuelled up with the ideas but they do not get satisfactory practical knowledge due to which many times the students become unenthusiastic and leave the idea there.
Dr. Arora said that it is the responsibility of the school teachers to recognize the ability of the students and if they have a good idea then they should be guided and encouraged.
Also, on this occasion, CA Mr. Pankaj Jindal, Chairman Bharat Vikas Parishad, Convenor Punjab Swadeshi Jagran Manch and Mr. Siddharth Sharma , Business Development Leader and Professional Advisor, Department of Cooperation were also present.
Principal Dr. Neerja Dhingra express her views on this occasion
Principal Dr. Neerja Dhingra, while expressing her views on this occasion, said that our objective of conducting this workshop for school teachers is that if the students get the right guidance in teenage to work on their ideas in school. Consequently, by the time they reach college and give shape to that idea, they can do welfare work not only for themselves but also for the society and ultimately the nation.
Moreover, the encouragement that they get for their idea from the school will make their direction for future clear that they can move forward and earn their livelihood successfully. Principal Dr. Neerja Dhingra appreciated and congratulated Dr. Jagmohan Mago and Dr. Keval Nailwal for successfully organizing the entire workshop and also inspired them to continue conducting similar workshops in the future.
