About BSSS ED Cell

Entrepreneurship Development Cell was established in The Bhopal School of Social Sciences in the academic year 2016-17 under the guidelines established by the Principal. The guidelines were prepared in consultation with the officials from EDII Mr Tarun Bedi and Mr Vinay Verma after a brainstorming session. It is established with a view to foster the entrepreneur skills among the students. Entrepreneurship is a key element in the industrialization and economic progress of a nation. History is replete with examples of entrepreneurs who have chased their dreams right from their student days and BSSS strictly believes that education is never complete without exposing students to this option. The Cell was established with a vision of fostering innovation and promoting entrepreneurial skills among BSSS students. Hence an Entrepreneurship Development Cell was constituted in the college with a dedicated team of actively working faculty who has an industry exposure along with some student representatives. Aspiring entrepreneurs are groomed with the necessary inputs on how to be a successful entrepreneur through workshops and seminars by eminent people from the industry.

About S.Pace

CO WORKING AREA AND INCUBATION CENTRE S.PACE Team. C.E.O Taytil singh

In the heart of India, it stands as a sanctuary and community for Bhopal-based entrepreneurs and freelancers. S.PACE is the place of working independently not alone here innovative ideas meet the requirements. Anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit can come work in S.PACE collaborative space. Co working is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, often an office, and independent activity. Unlike in a typical office environment, those co working are usually not employed by the same organization. Co working is also the social gathering of a group of people who are still working independently, but who share values and who are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with people who value working in the same place alongside each other.

After your education when it comes to the work or earnings then there are only three choices for you to choose from. One “Start your own business, if you have money to invest”, second “get a job” but if you do not have much money to invest for business then your third choice might be “get a job then save some money and then start a business”. Personally S.Pace recommend business over job, that’s why today they are giving you reasons why your own business is better than job

· BE YOUR OWN BOSS

· YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN IDENTITY

· YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO RUN A TEAM

· YOU WILL GET YOUR GOALS REASONS WHY OWN BUSINESSIS BETTER
