01 July Saturday | KSUM Calicut @ UL Cyberpark | 40 Faculties
Kerala startup mission is having Innovation and entrepreneurship cells (IEDC) in colleges. Today we have more than 180 IED cells across the state. IEDCs are acting as primary incubators in college level. Nodal officers from all IEDCs in Malabar region met with new CEO of startup mission Prof. Saji Gopinath.
Its high time for Engineering colleges to rethink their modal to become relevant in the online learning and MOOC era. Starting a startup will give more reasons for students to focus in academics and learn more. The colleges should consider IEDC as a prime activity not as a side one. Mini fablabs with MIT should be made open to local innovates also, Saji said. Faculties shared their concerns in day to day operations of IEDCs in colleges.
