Due to lack of awareness about I&E, students are facing difficulties in establishing a startup or finding it difficult to become a technopreneur despite being passionate about it. As a UIF Leadership Circle of our campus, we would like to introduce the concepts of I&E in the academic curriculum so that students learn about it and develop the entrepreneurial mindset.</span><br/> =
