I, on behalf of the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CE&I), welcome you all to the creative hub of the Central University of Himachal Pradesh (CUHP).
We, at the Centre, nurture the entrepreneurial endeavours of students, faculty and all other stakeholders. The Centre aims to promote entrepreneurship amongst management students by creating a conducive ecosystem.
The Centre is helping students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and at the same time, provides training to students to convert their creative and innovative ideas into brilliant and feasible business plans so as to come up with their own start-ups.
The Centre is very much committed to assist its students in every stage of the entrepreneurial lifecycle; right from motivation, inspiration, and idea generation, to the initiation, incubation, investment and operationalization. The Centre promotes entrepreneurial activities that are based on local resources. This deep social consciousness of the Centre makes the start-ups emerging from the Centre more relevant in the contemporary world.
