JAMMU: A batch of 20 students from Bhaskar Degree College Udhampur successfully completed the 10-day Summer Internship Program at the Jammu and Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute (JKEDI), District Centre Udhampur on Thursday.

The internship, conducted in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, was designed to develop entrepreneurial thinking, research aptitude, and teamwork skills among students. As part of the program, the interns were introduced to the core functions and objectives of JKEDI and were exposed to various verticals of the Institute that promote entrepreneurship as a viable career option in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.

Spanning 60 hours over 10 days, the program provided hands-on exposure to key concepts in entrepreneurial development, startup culture, and enterprise creation. It featured a combination of interactive lectures, practical assignments, field visits, and expert sessions delivered by JKEDI faculty and guest speakers from the regional startup ecosystem.

The internship culminated with a valedictory ceremony held at the JKEDI District Centre, Udhampur. Mohinder Kumar Sharma, Deputy Director, Employment, Udhampur, attended the session as the Chief Guest. He congratulated the students on the successful completion of the program and urged them to pursue their entrepreneurial goals with passion, discipline, and confidence.

The internship was conducted by a team of expert faculty members under the overall supervision of the Director JKEDI.

The institute continues to organize such internship programs across the Union Territory as part of its mission to foster entrepreneurship and promote self-employment among youth. These initiatives aim to bridge the gap between academic learning and its practical application in the entrepreneurial landscape.
