EDC CELL RBVRR Women’s College Of Pharmacy
Entrepreneurship Development Cell was established in RBVRRWCP in Feb 2018 under the guidelines of AICTE with a view to foster the entrepreneur skills among the students. Entrepreneurship is a key element in the industrialization and economic progress of a nation. History is replete with examples of entrepreneurs who have chased their dreams right from their student days and RBVRRWCP strictly believes that education is never complete without exposing students to this option. The Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC cell) at RBVRRWCP was established with a vision of fostering innovation and promoting entrepreneurial skills among students. Hence an Entrepreneurship Development Cell was constituted in the college with a dedicated team of actively working faculty who has an industry exposure along with some student representatives. Aspiring Pharmacy entrepreneurs are groomed with the necessary inputs on how to be a successful entrepreneur through workshops and seminars by eminent people from the industry. At RBVRRWCP, we encourage the students to consider self employment as a career option, providing necessary training in Entrepreneurship skills through standardized courses. The cell also organizes different activities and events from time to time to train and motivate the students on entrepreneurship.
