== Improvement on Start-Up Summits =='''INCREASING SUPPORT TO INCREASE GENERATION OF IDEAS'''
*Seminars Imagine an ideal situation; you have a bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks. Also suppose you are new to using chopsticks. Now if you are in a Chinese/Japanese restaurant then you would surely feel left out and workshops guess what it’s never your fault, you have the bowl of noodles you have chopsticks it’s just that you don’t know the procedure to use it. Similarly, thousands of children all round the world want to generate new ideas “they want to eat (TEDxin case of our example) should be innitiated*Funding for but don’t know how to use the same chopsticks or as in our case generate new ideas. In our college two programs run in a similar direction. One is '''ICC'''(Infosys Campus Connect)/'''PDP'''(Personality Development Program) and second is '''Startup Summit’s. '''ICC/PDP is needed available from second to the third year of graduation which might not be generated*To be held more than once in too late but yes it is late. Why waste a year to start idea generation. Idea generation is like growing a plant, it takes years. Presently, students tend to bunk such sessions so before we implement to first yearwe would like to improve the present scenario.
== '''Improvement on Present ICC/PDP Classes =='''
*· Creating a Facebook (social media based) page to showcase those students who have benefited from such programs and how their journey started. This would stand as a mode of inspiration and motivation to new comers and those who don’t find its importance. Also, it would act a virus which could spread cross branches and cross colleges for greater impact. · Spreading awareness regarding the importance of ICC/PDP classes.*· Motivating Students to participate in competitions related to ICC/PDP. *· A '''Student Body''' (presently the fellows of the said college have agreed to take charge) under guidance of faculties, who would keep a check on the said program. They would monitor that students do attend such sessions, and if they don’t then motivate them to attend these lectures by telling them about its importance. · Motivating students to generate ideasby giving them past examples so that they have a basic sketch of how to climb ladders. This was done recently by a senior of our college who created an application for the college attendance, and yes it did come out good. '''Improvement on Start-Up Summits''' *Seminars and workshops (TEDx) workshops should be initiated a month before the startup summits so that those who wish to participate in such events have ideas on what to do and how to do since people tend to be blank about the proceedings of such events.*Funding for the same is needed to be generated (which is approved by the CEO of GEI)*To be held more than once in a year as many students are not able to attend when it takes place a single time a year. This would ensure more participation and yes motivation to do.*Cross branch involvement, as this would ensure that right guidance is provided to beginners and a bigger idea can be brought to life. '''Future aspects''' Once the above plans are running successfully · Implementation to first year would take place. As it would be safe to initiate the whole process to first year after it has been improved where it is presently exercising. · More faculties would be involved. This would require fewer efforts as they themselves would understand its importance post its success. ==
