GENERIC SKILLS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT

L T P
3 - -

RATIONALE

Generic Skills and Entrepreneurship Development is one of the courses from

Human Science subject area. Generic skills have emerged as an important
component of employability skills, which enable an individual to become and
remain employable over lifetime and to lead happy and prosperous life.
Entrepreneurship development aim at developing conceptual understanding for
setting-up ones own business venture/enterprise. This aspect of Human Resource
Development has become equally important in the era, when wage employment
prospects have become meager.
Both the subject areas are supplementary to each other and soft skills are required to be
developed in diploma passouts for enhancing their employability and self confidence.

within the institution or from management organizations. Conceptual understanding of
Entrepreneurship, inputs by teachers and outside experts will expose the students so as to
facilitate in starting ones own business venture/enterprise. The teacher will discuss
success stories and case studies with students, which in turn, will develop managerial
qualities in the students. There may be guest lectures by successful diploma holding
entrepreneurs and field visits also. The students may also be provided relevant text
material and handouts.
