Government encourages entrepreneurship among students to transform them from job seekers to employers, focusing on practical applications and innovations.
Higher Education Minister R. Bindu said here on Monday that the government would encourage entrepreneurship among the students.
“Our aim is to transform students from job seekers to employers,” she said after inaugurating the third floor of the newly constructed block of the Department of Instrumentation, Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat).
The Minister said the government had stepped up efforts to transform universities into knowledge centres, where innovations could be converted into practical applications.
Vice Chancellor Dr. M. Junaid Bushiri presided. The third floor was constructed using ₹83.30 lakh allocated from the Plan fund as part of the Chief Minister’s 100-day action programme.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
