The SSIP Cell at Gujarat Commerce College (Morning), Ahmedabad, plays a vital role in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation among students. By organizing sensitization sessions for new students, they ensure that everyone is well-acquainted with the Startup and Innovation Policy (SSIP), as well as important concepts like Proof of Concept (PoC), Prototyping, and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).
Inviting successful industrialists who have launched their own startups provides students with valuable insights and real-world guidance. These sessions not only inspire students but also help them understand the practical aspects of entrepreneurship.
Additionally, the hands-on training and industrial visits give students a chance to experience the actual industrial environment. Visits to renowned educational institutions like EDII and NFSU further enrich their learning experience, allowing them to gain exposure to best practices and innovative ideas in the field.
Overall, the initiatives by the SSIP Cell equip students with the knowledge, skills, and network necessary to thrive in their entrepreneurial endeavors.
