Building a Defence Startup Ecosystem
Day 1: Friday, April 5th
The vision of e-Yantra is to establish connections with over 500+ e-Yantra labs, engaging them in addressing societal issues that can serve as foundational projects that eventually lead to startups within colleges. 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.
There is no registration fee to attend the event.
Implementing NEP2020
“Design your Degree”
Day 2: Sat, April 6th
The National Education Policy (NEP) aims to revamp and modernize India's education system, giving importance to a holistic approach that highlights skill development, flexibility, and a thorough understanding of subjects.
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.
There is no registration fee to attend the event.
