Dear Colleague,

Greetings from CED (Tamil Nadu)!

*********

We are pleased to state that Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (Tamil Nadu) was established as a state level approved Entrepreneurship Development Institution recognized and supported by Ministry of MSME, Government of India and Industries Department, Government of Tamil Nadu during the year 1990-91. We have 23 years of experience in Entrepreneurship Promotion activities.  Our website www.cedtn.orgprovides more details about our organization and activities.

We are supporting the universities and colleges to establish Entrepreneurship Development Cells in the respective institutions for promoting entrepreneurship culture among the students. However, faculty trained in Entrepreneurship is required to manage the Entrepreneurship Development Cells to counsel and guide the students to establish sustainable business ventures.  CED has trained more than 1000 college and university teachers through a 2-week Faculty Development Programme (FDP) in Entrepreneurship over a period of 15 years.

During the current year 2013 – 14, we are organizing 3 FDPs of 12 days duration for the benefits of teachers in the Engineering, Polytechnic and Science Colleges as well as Management Institutions of Tamil Nadu.  We will be conducting two FDPs at CED campus, Madurai itself during December, 2013.  A write up about the FDP and Nomination Form is enclosed.

We request you to kindly arrange to depute few faculty members from your institution.  It is pertinent to mention that when you apply for grant to DST, New Delhi to establish IEDC, it is mandatory to mention the names of the faculty members trained under FDP in Entrepreneurship. Hence, it is important for the Engineering and Management teachers to attend the FDP.

Please send your nominations indicating the names of the faculty at your earliest.

Thanking you and with regards

Yours sincerely
