The
pandemic Covid-19 has forced us to change our behavior and routine practices. It
is also evident that we have been adapting to these changes. My previous write
up--- challenge plan ‘A’ gently directs readers especially technocrats and students
seeking professional education to take up entrepreneurship as a career option. Present
environment is carving path to forced entrepreneurship since the entire job
market in the world is shrinking. ‘Entrepreneur is born or made’ is a discussion
altogether.
Here
are few MTS
entrepreneurship
options: (MTS – stands for Manufacturing, Trading and Service)
Manufacturing
Entrepreneurship:
- Manufacturing entire import substitute products preferably using domestic resources and at lower cost than imports has abundant scope.
- Processing of agriculture raw material to add values at the farm site only.

- Equipment's for keeping sanitizer and temperature gun.
- Material handling equipments.

Lakhs
of skilled labour, self employed people, minor entrepreneurs have migrated out
of Maharashtra and also within a state. No guarantee of their return and resume
work. This has created a vacuum in the economy. The local unemployed youths
have tremendous opportunity to leverage this vacuum. Little professional
training is needed that can be provided by local management school. Somewhere
the help of technical training schools like ITI and diploma colleges is also
needed for hard skill building.
Entrepreneurship is Social Praise:
Present
environment is supportive to take up entrepreneurship. The only thing needed is
360 degree momentum. Society has a greater role to play in it. The momentum has
to be extended from educational institutions, supportive institutions, family
and society.
Only
four questions to answer.
- Will the parents support their kids for entrepreneurship?
- Will bureaucrats take entrepreneurship development as a philanthropic mission?
- Will a compatible girl marry with budding entrepreneur / agripreneur?
- Will a society recognize this new entrepreneur?
3
Family
has to give unconditional support and be a stakeholder in the business by children.
Surprisingly, youths from few business communities are not continuing
traditional entrepreneurship because of not getting social support and this is
quite evident from the fact that they are not getting suitable marital
proposals. Girls do not prefer to marry with budding entrepreneur but an
employee earning reasonably fat salaries and preferably stays at metropolitan
society. Need is that, even the modern Girl, alongside her husband, takes up
her own Entrepreneurship occupation which offers her flexibility and financial
freedom. She can also explore option of involving in her husband’s enterprise. Society
also praises employees and bureaucrats only. Banners, hoarding and news in the dailies
flashes for candidate secure employment ----- any kind of employment through UPSC,
MPSC and such competitive examinations. Same praise has not seen coming towards
the much deserving Entrepreneurs. Time is to change this situation and for
Good!
Supportive institutions like licensing bodies of government, financial institutions, and consultants (CA, Lawyers, Management, Taxation, Technology, and R&D) should extend their time generously to budding entrepreneurs. Their association with educational institution and joint efforts to motivate and support students towards entrepreneurship would bring miracles.
Entrepreneurial Education:
Unfortunately
educational institutions are also not supportive towards entrepreneurship. Hardly
any Higher Educational Institution(HEI) affiliated to State Universities have active ED & Incubation cell. This is the high time HEI should
set up entrepreneurship and incubation center. The HEI instead of giving importance
only to competitive examination centers should redirect considerable resources
to entrepreneur and incubation center. Incubate the aforementioned
entrepreneurial avenues and serve the nation in real sense. The role of
research on finding out entrepreneurial opportunity and preparation of
feasibility report is pivotal. Apex educational bodies must extend special
funds to this endeavor by HEI to entrepreneurial incubation and research. The
entrepreneur alumni should be given ceremonial rewards. Such alumni are better
examples before students.
The
positive answers to aforementioned questions would bring dream of Self reliance
India come true. Mission Entrepreneurial India should be taken as missions; India had
taken up earlier like Green Revolution, Operation Flood and the like.
