ROLE OF FACULTY IN FOSTERING ENTREPRENEURSHIP- REVIEW OF LITERATURE

"Students build the fire; teachers ignite the spark. A mentor outlines the course for an entrepreneur, but the pupil must follow it.

Since independence, universities and colleges in India have taken steps to encourage self-employment and the formation of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), making entrepreneurship education more important. Students' entrepreneurial mind-set is largely shaped by their education, which also gives them the tools they need to pursue careers or start their own businesses. Students who receive the right instruction are equipped to launch and maintain new businesses. By providing fellowship assistance and enabling cooperative research projects with SMEs, higher education institutions could also highlight innovation in business and promote entrepreneurial research.
