About JAS EDC & IIC
Inspiration is needed for all entrepreneurs to start or grow their businesses. Being an entrepreneur usually means taking a lot of risks, and sometimes he/she must leave a great job to pursue what they love or invest a lot of money into their ideas. The entrepreneur knew that at the end of the day, no matter how scary it may be to take that leap, following his/her heart is always the best course of action, and that is how they became so successful. Entrepreneurship is gradually recognised as a significant driver of the economic growth of a country.
The JAS Entrepreneurship Development Cell and JAS Institution’s Innovation Cell were established on 23rd November 2022. Ever since its commencement, the cell has been on its flagship programme of uninterrupted innovative thinking to enhance the country’s economy. At the same time, e-cell also concentrates on the countryside to develop the potential of the youth and revamp their outdated mindset.
