Expert Lecture: “Entrepreneurship: Opportunities and Challenges”

Guest details: H. S. Cheema Managing Director, Cheema Boilers Ltd., Mohali

It has been observed that most students lack vision of their future, what they do after college, which is their area of interest, as they don’t have clarity on how things work in industries, they pay a little attention new topics beyond their syllabus and they fail miserably at their campus interviews. Our department tries to bridge the gap between industrial trends and what’s been taught in our classrooms by conducting organizing expert sessions from different fields of their subjects and beyond the subjects also. This talk was more on developing entrepreneur skills. Mr. H. S. Cheema (Managing Director, Cheema Boilers Ltd., Mohali), throughout his entire life journey in various workshops gave the students a brief idea how practically one needs to deal with the situations. He as shared various stories of his life and the way he acted on all those situations. On an ending note Mr. H. S. Cheema provided open and free space to the students of college for learning at his workshop and for the industrial visits and also for industrial training.
