TESTIMONIAL FROM PREVIOUS COHORT
We see a marked difference in the orientation of the students after this course. It is heartening that many of them who had not opted to work with conservation related civil society organisations or launch their own green enterprises at the end of the course
This course and bootcamp had deepened our understanding of the Social Entrepreneurship programme itself. We recommend to our college that this course be offered in the first semester of the post-Graduate programme so that the students gain better meaning of the course in advance
I was waiting for something like this and when I heard that such a course was being offered, I definitely wanted to enrol.
