The mission of the EDC cell is to encourage and refine the entrepreneurial and product development skills of the students, like idea generation, opportunity evaluation, business modeling, marketing, intellectual property rights, new innovative project development, skill development, and many more.

The emerging competitive scenario in the contemporary world calls for a greater thrust on entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is the decision of an individual to plan his or her career and have the right path to earn an honest and decent living. A failure at the foundation level may have a severe impact and result in a significant loss of faith in one’s community. The CDC and EDC at KBPCOE, Satara, are offering services to new student entrepreneurs to promote specialised knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship development. In view of the global scarcity of jobs in both the public and private sectors, leading to unemployment problems and a lack of proper utilization of human resources, the cell strives to identify talented youth for entrepreneurial work. The domain needs to be promoted widely to ensure that the incidence of self-employment increases and also to offer a definite direction of growth to existing entrepreneurs.

• To build entrepreneurial culture among students.
• To motivate students to become entrepreneur.
• To develop a spirit of entrepreneurship and awareness among the students.
