A National seminar was organized by CEGR (Centre for Education, Growth and Research) on 19th December, 2013 at India International Centre, New Delhi on “Create a job through Entrepreneur Education”. Advisor (R&D), Prof. TPN Singh and Dr. Sahab Singh faculty, MBA department from Dronacharya Group of Institutions, Greater Noida attended the meet. CEGR has been set up with a view to educating bureaucratic community, opinion makers, civil society and NGOs to participate actively in shaping and implementing policy issues relating to the education sector in the public domain through responsible policy analysis and management tools. The Centre collaborates pro-actively with other similar entities to meet its primary objectives.

Following distinguished guests were at the inaugural meet:

1. Dr. Atul Jain, President, CEGR

2. Mr. S.P. Singh, Former Director, HR, NTPC Ltd

3. CA Ashok K Gadiya, Chancellor, Mewar University

4. Dr. Santosh Mehrotra, Director General, IAMR (Planning Commission)

5. Ms. Jayashree Srivastava, Senior Vice President, CEGR

Dr. Atul Jain welcomed the gathering and gave a brief on the working of CEGR. He mentioned the past activities conducted by the centre namely on demands from Industry and free lectures by professionals in various fields. Social work has also been a key focus of the centre and activities like free eye camp, cancer detection, blood donation etc have been organized at many places. CEGR has also been organizing FDP’s very effectively.

Mr. S.P. Singh, delivered the key note address and delved deeply into the echo-system of entrepreneurship. He questioned the belief that can someone be made an entrepreneur. He wanted the curricula to be redesigned to develop and promote entrepreneurship so that students have an appetite to take calculated risks for gainful future. One must enjoy work and have the fortitude to face failures. He gave the example of Sachin Tendulkar who despite getting injured on the very first ball of his test career continued to play and the rest is history. There is Technology explosion and a balance must be maintained between rural and urban employment opportunities.

Mr. Ashok Gadiya explained the model developed by his University wherein every student has to acquire atleast one vocational course along with the degree pursued. This has resulted in creating entrepreneurs of all sorts especially amongst rural girl students. Dr. Santosh Mehrotra spelt out the Government role in the area of entrepreneurship. 2005 and 2010 was the period of jobless growth due to slow progress in this field. He compared China’s meteoric growth and lamented on India’s sluggish corporate response towards social responsibility. He commented on Women empowerment and quoted Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen that a girl must have atleast secondary education, have ownership rights, have independent source of income and be permitted to work outside. Mrs. Jayashree Shrivastava briefed on how CEGR was enriching the entire society through entrepreneurship awareness.

The Technical session was held in the second half and had few leading young entrepreneurs namely Mr. Praveen Sinha, Co-founder Jabong.com and Mr.Vikas Khanduri, founder Viva-Voyages .The discussions were lively and fruitful. Mr. Praveen Sinha stressed that risk taking is an integral part of becoming an entrepreneur and unfortunately young and fertile brains in our country are averse to this. The best IT brains are in India but the game changers are in US and other countries e.g. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and so on. Mr.Jatinder Singh, Secretary Education, PHD Chambers of Commerce informed the house that CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is now being mandated as law and would come to effect from 1st April, 2014. Every company will have to earmark 2% of their earnings (PBT) for CSR.

About 8500 companies will come under this ambit and there will be a generation of approx Rs.15000 to 18000 crores resulting in an employment boom by 50,000 jobs. Dr. Pankaj Gupta, Director General Jaipuria Group of Institutes wanted a knowledge capsule to be designed for training students to become entrepreneurs. The right eco-system must be created for budding entrepreneurs and the seed must match the right soil for bloom.

The vote of thanks was given by Mr. V.N. Choudhary, Vice-President-CEGR and the seminar concluded on an optimistic note.
