<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">Actually we do not have this project park and now we are going to implement it in the way mentioned below.</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">We are in the process of implementing this in our college .Students will have some ideas regarding their streams and they will certainly make projects. So we are planning to conduct a 3-5 day park in our campus. It means that all the projects related to every stream like&nbsp;mechanical and many other branches can exhibit them in the park .Through this they will show all their ideas i.e. their projects and an invitation will be sent to other colleges and industries so that people come and see all the projects and buy them for the amount mentioned. Another outcome from this is, from college level itself a student can get the hope that they have done good projects and sold it for good amount which makes them to start a kind of business which in turn leads them towards entrepreneurship and finally can become entrepreneur.</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">In the process of completing the projects successfully students need the resources, money, guidance from I&E. So, I&E is planning to have the following resources</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">1. It takes almost 3 to 4 months to complete the projects.</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">2. Students must form into groups of 4(maximum of 2 from each department) and select a mentor of their choice from each department. This makes the project inter-disciplinary.</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">3. In a week’s time, students start working out on their projects.</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">4. In order to make sure their projects are going on as per schedule, they have to send their progress monthly to faculty whom they opted as their mentor</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">5. If anyone wants to add extensions to their project and need financial support, they get ‘seed money’ of about $1600</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">6. They have to wait for one month to get the requested seed money K. Chokkanathan, I&E cell coordinator takes care of these. This request process is done in the month of March.</span></span></span>

<span style="colorfont-size:#000000small;"><span style="font-sizecolor:medium#000000"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">And finally we are planning to exhibit it in the month of March-2017.We are going to present all the projects which are better and useful to the society. So after presenting these projects in the March-2017 all the industries and companies who have visited the park can have a chance to buy those projects and ultimately leads students towards entrepreneurship.</span></span></span>
