Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: “There is stress on entrepreneurship, innovation and research in National Education Policy (NEP) than just providing a degree to youths. It is expected to create new entrepreneurs through NEP,” said Dr Karbhani Kale, vice chancellor of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University (BATU).
He was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the third edition of the ‘Virtual Exhibition and Incubation Programme’ being organised jointly by MAGIC and Tata Technologies Ltd for startups.
