PROMOTING STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

           Our college main mission is not to see students as job seekers but to see them as job creators. So to achieve this, our college encourages students towards Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Our college collaborates with APSSDC (Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation) which offers wide range of opportunities to enhance skills and assists students in the fields of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. It is a state government organisation. It comes up with various workshops and innovative programs to develop Andhra Pradesh state as Hub of Innovation and to prosper Andhra Pradesh as a top state in India.

Our University has various operational centres to promote Innovation and Entrepreneurship:

·      Design Incubation Centre

·      Design Innovation Centre

·      Infrastructure Development Centre

·      Research and Development Centre

There are a few instances to say that our students are more oriented towards innovation.

 Generally in chemistry lab we discharge out acids and bases but knowingly or unknowingly we are polluting our land by releasing them directly to the ground. Few students came forward to sort out this issue by the construction of Acid Base Neutralization tank which might be the first kind of initiative in India to neutralize both acids and bases.

Ours is a newly established college so there is a problem for basic infrastructural facilities. Our students have come up with a wonderful solution to use waste water bottles which are available in and around campus. The bottles are filled with construction waste and they are used in the place of bricks as construction units which greatly reduces the construction cost and encourages use of waste in construction.
