Abstract

Recently, Entrepreneurship is being promoted by the government and nongovernmental agencies for providing self-employment and growth amongst the youth. India has had a history of entrepreneurship, but until recent times, had lacked strong governmental support and a system for educating potential entrepreneurs. Educating students about entrepreneurship is essential and academic institutions at the under graduate and post graduate level are a key avenue for promoting entrepreneurship. Challenges like monetary support, academic scheduling, motivation, quality ventures and support networks etc. are being encountered by academic institutions while supporting student entrepreneurship. The Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) has disbursed a grant of Rupees 1.5 crores each in March, 2016 to 6 academic institutions in Delhi for promoting entrepreneurship amongst their students. This paper aims to examine the problems being encountered by Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (University of Delhi/DU) (SSCBS) while implementing entrepreneurship related activities.
