Aryans Group of Colleges organized one day “Entrepreneurship Sensitization Day” at its campus today. The event was organized to introduce the entrepreneurial mindset to the students. The seminar was attended by the students of B.Tech, MBA, BBA, BCA, B.Com, B.Ed, GNM, BA etc. Mr. Paramjit Singh, Principal Consultant In- Charge, Regional Centre for Entrepreneurship Development was the Key Note speaker on the occasion. Dr Anshu Kataria, Chairman, Aryans Group presided over the event.

Mr. Paramjit Singh while interacting with the students said that the global meltdown has affected many economies adversely but as India is largely a domestically driven economy, impact is less on the Indian economic system. Also Indian banks are adequately capitalized and strong institutions. Hence taking advantage of those students should become job creators, rather than job seekers.

Chairman, Aryans Group of Colleges, Dr. Anshu Kataria While addressing the students mentioned the need of the young entrepreneurs in the era of meltdown. He further said that they should not hesitate from taking risks as life is full of possibilities.

He further said that the event aims to create opportunity for enthusiastic students with an entrepreneurial bent of mind, to come up with innovative ideas and channelize their efforts to give birth to new ventures. To provide exposure to its students Aryans Group has included interactive sessions with foreign collaborated universities & faculty in its curriculum.
