Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Cell(IEDC)

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Cell (IEDC) of Thiagarajar Polytechnic College Alagappanagar has been established in 2014 under Kerala Startup Mission which functions with a vision to support and nurture the start-ups in the state of Kerala, with the objective of generating, nurturing and promoting the spirit of entrepreneurial culture among the youth of our college.

The mission of the IEDCs is to “develop institutional mechanism to create entrepreneurial culture in academic institutions to foster growth of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst the faculty and students”.

The IEDC is a network hub for students aspiring to be entrepreneurs which not only enhances the entrepreneurial skills but also the teamwork skills of students as a part of its mentorship. Mentoring the students at an early stage by giving proper direction and necessary exposure would be a key factor for converting technical ideas or projects into viable business plans.
