Join the 'Prerana-2026' entrepreneurship conference in Mangaluru, empowering SC/ST students to launch their businesses.
Dakshina Kannada Member of Parliament Capt. Brijesh Chowta, on Friday, said the SC/ST Learning and Development Trust and Bolpu have organised ‘Prerana-2026’, an entrepreneurship conference to attract students from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes towards entrepreneurship. The conference is to take place on Saturday in Mangaluru.
The conference also aims to provide SC/ST students with the necessary guidance to set up their own businesses in the future, the MP said in a statement. The conference will be held at SDM Law College, Mangaluru.
The MP said many ITI, Diploma, and Engineering students from SC/ST communities have the dream, skills, and ability to start their own business in the Dakshina Kannada district.
The Union and State governments have provided many schemes and facilities to help them start businesses. The necessary information about these schemes and guidance on bank loan facilities will be provided at the conference.
Capt. Chowta said the main objective of the conference is to make the youth of the region employers instead of job seekers. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving high priority to instilling an entrepreneurial spirit in students from the SC/ST community, and therefore, this motivational entrepreneurship conference has been organised as per his wishes,” he said.
