E-Cell IIT Madras Is Conducting Its Flagship Program Entrepreneurship Development Drive

New Delhi, Dec 02: E-Cell IIT Madras is conducting the third edition of its flagship program Entrepreneurship Development Drive (EDD). EDD promotes entrepreneurship and sustainably develops entrepreneurial ecosystems, that is, E-Cells in colleges across the country to accelerate the growth of budding entrepreneurs and student-led startups.

EDD's vision is to create a youth driven society of entrepreneurs and innovators who can not only identify the need for new solutions and create them, but also create a sustainable infrastructure that can potentially accelerate their journey along with providing a guiding beacon to each and every new individual stepping into this field.

Entrepreneurship Development Drive received an overwhelming response of more than 130 colleges across India out of which 12 have been selected to ensure the quality of the program. Each of these 12 colleges is provided with regular one on one sessions with the team, to understand the problems that they are facing and to help them in a more intensive manner with the final destination being a sustainable student body which
can facilitate and spread entrepreneurial learning among youth.

The total programme has been designed to incorporate six key modules covering avenues from PR & Design, Event management to Corporate Relations and Outreach, which will be followed by one-on-one mentorship and an EDD-Conference in March 2021 (tentatively). Throughout this programme, a plethora of resources and networking opportunities with other entrepreneurial bodies across the country are provided.

The programme consists of not only passive learning through sessions and workshops but also practical application of these learnings in form of tasks, event designing and case study to ensure proper delivery of content and basic principles.
