Initiative for nurturing entrepreneurship
Student innovators pitched over 30 imaginative ideas at a boot camp organised recently by the Atal Incubation Centre - Pondicherry Engineering College Foundation and CII-Young Indians, Puducherry.
The three-day boot camp hosted top 30 teams from 200 plus applications received for a three-stage innovation contest of the PEC and CII to bring out the entrepreneurial talent of the student community.
Experts mentor the young innovators by supporting them and hand holding their ideas through the process of formulating a sustainable business model from the drawing-board.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
