    A Leap Forward Towards Boosting Home-based Businesses 

    imageMaulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), WB vows to encourage the students towards taking up entrepreneurship as a career. The Entrepreneurship Cell of the University in an online meeting on 23.04.2020. chaired by the  Vice Chancellor Prof, (Dr.) Saikat Maitra decided to create more awareness about entrepreneurship as a lucrative career.

     Prof, Maitra said that the Entrepreneurship Portal will be created shortly, where the entrepreneurial activities being undertaken by the University would be showcased. Along with that, there will be links to success stories of entrepreneurs, links of start-up activities, upcoming webinars, posting of blogs etc. This portal will be linked to the University website.

    He pointed out that, in this grim situation due to Lockdown to check the spread of corona virus, there will be job loss in almost all sectors and loss of existing practices and businesses. Thus in the near future MAKAUT will have to give importance to:

    • Develop Community Entrepreneurship. In that case micro entrepreneurs will be able to work from their homes and run businesses. Japan has been extremely successful by following this model.
    • Common Facility Centres will be created in and around Haringhata area and other places by the University for such enterprises. 
    • As the market for many goods and services will be super saturated in the near future, new ones must be identified. Examples of such items are manufacturing of sanitisers, home made soaps, natural healthcare products, cleaning agents, home made cookies, food items and so on. IT based services (through Cloud), App based services will also be in demand.
    • MAKAUT proposes to follow a Public Cooperative Model to support the local micro entrepreneurs . These cooperatives will be supported by MAKAUT and may work on a revenue sharing basis.
    Prof. Maitra and other members of the Entrepreneurship Cell is committed to make this effort a success and support the budding entrepreneurs by providing the knowhow and also helping in the marketing of their products.
