The Drucker’s Club of the Department of Business Administration of JJ College of Arts
and Science (Autonomous), Pudukkottai organized a special lecture on “Exploring
Entrepreneurship as a viable long term solution to unemployment” at 10.30 am on Thursday,
18.08.2022. Dr.R.Nageswari, Associate Professor and Head, Department of Economics,
Seethalakshmi Aachi College for Women, Pallathur, Sivaganga District was the resource person.
In her scholarly speech, she pointed out how young men and women should turn into job
providers, not stagnate as job seekers. There are many openings for new startups in the
agricultural, industrial and information technology sectors. The government has opened up many
avenues for self -employment and financial institutions have come forward offering financial
assistance for new ventures. The Governments at the centre and the states have introduced
attractive incentives like grants and subsidies, logistics assistance through expert agencies and
coordinating bodies like the SIDCO, SIPCOT etc. Globalization and prospects of BPO avenues
are further openings on the front.
She also outlined the nature of entrepreneurship, the traits of a successful entrepreneur
and various types of entrepreneurship. She emphasized that it was essential to have an open
mind, a capacity for lateral thinking and the energy to galvanize resources into new ventures.
Young men should come forward to chart out new routes rather than stick to conventional
methods . They should try to build up social assets, earn reasonable profits through wise fund
management and contribute to local, regional and national growth. Prosperity of all rather than
one’s own survival should be the motto.
Dr.V.Sathyarekha , Head of the Department presided over the meeting. Ms.M.Harini, II
MBA welcomed the gathering and Ms.M. Hepsipa Beula, III BBA proposed the vote of thanks.
