Building a Defence Startup Ecosystem

Day 1: Friday, April 5th

It places equal emphasis on familiarizing participants with challenges in the defence sector.

In this panel discussion, the panellists explore the essential requirements for constructing a defence startup ecosystem. Following this, there will be a discussion involving incubators, educators, government officials, and startup stakeholders to strategize and accomplish the specified objectives. This discussion aims to provide insights into enhancing the engagement of the e-Yantra Community with these challenges.

“Design your Degree”

Day 2: Sat, April 6th

NEP's objective is to deliver a well-rounded, multidisciplinary undergraduate education, creating graduates with integrated personalities and improved employability. This panel discussion will centre on addressing the ongoing question among educators: "How can we incorporate NEP 2020 into the curriculum?" With a special emphasis on the University of Jammu's "Design your degree" program, which aligns with the principles of NEP 2020.
