    PREAMBLE

    In the words of Nobel laureate, Fran ois-Anatole Thibault,

    India has the honor of having most ancient university systems in the world, Takshasila and NalandaUniversity. In addition, India hosts one of the largest education systems in the world. As per UniversityGrant Commission (UGC) India hosts 574 universities and 35,539 colleges of higher education sectorwhich enrols about 230 lakhs of students in 2012.

    With the growth of higher education sector and the sharp slowdown in the economy has led to anincrease in unemployment in India. In addition to the declined job market, the skill level of graduateshas become a major issue for India. According to National Employability Report, Graduates, AnnualReport 2013 by Aspiring Minds, through inferences from data of over 60,000 graduates pan-India,47% of the graduates from Indian higher educational institutes are unemployable. Inadequate language,

    computer and analytical skills among the graduates render them unemployable.

    With declining economic growth, unemployability and the need to create more jobs, entrepreneurshipis seen as an option for our country and a better society. But, in India many obstacles such as culturalbarriers, fear of failure, and insecurity are hurdles for a healthy startup environment. Socio-economicfactors such as age, gender, work status, education, income and perceptions are significantly effecting apersons decision to start a business in India. Although several initiatives such as establishingincubation centers, entrepreneurial promotional activities and funding options by public and privatesectors entrepreneurship hasnt been blooming in Indian society. It is clear from the presentcircumstances that initiatives taken so far have not been successful in promoting entrepreneurship.IdeaStudios approach towards the problem is to reduce the threshold levels of those hurdles that arestopping the youth of India to take the crucial starting steps towards entrepreneurship.

    %An education isn&t ho" much you have committed to memory, or even ho" much you#no". It&s being ab!e to differentiate bet"een "hat you do #no" and "hat you don&t'.

    knowledge is power , is a wise phrase given to us by our ancestors to guide us in right direction. Todayinformation is abundantly available with existing internet and communication technologies. In ourmodern times, as the knowledge is easily accessible to everyone, knowing ' where ' and ' how ' to use thisavailable information is necessary. So, ' knowledge is power ' only if we know where and how to use it.

    Practical knowledge is a fantasy and entrepreneurship is a myth to the present generation students.Practical knowledge ignites curiosity in students which aid creative thinking among students which is an
