Kakatiya University to set up second incubation centre under CSR initiative: VC Pratap Reddy
Kakatiya University in Telangana is launching a second incubation centre under a CSR initiative to foster student entrepreneurship. The program aims to mentor 3,000 students in collaboration with T-Hub and explore academic partnerships with Germany's Reutlingen University.
Why it matters
The initiative represents a growing trend in Indian higher education to bridge the gap between academic learning and startup ecosystem participation.
Kakatiya University is emerging as a major innovation hub in north Telangana and plans are underway to establish a second incubation centre on the campus under a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, Vice-Chancellor K. Pratap Reddy said on Monday.
Addressing the Entrepreneurship and Startup Induction Programme organised by the University’s K-Hub in association with Telangana’s T-Hub, Prof. Reddy urged students to become job creators rather than job seekers and contribute to the country’s economic growth.
He also said the initiative would provide mentoring and startup support to nearly 3,000 students through T-Hub. He expressed confidence that at least 10 startups would emerge from the programme.
Encouraging students to think innovatively and make use of government support, he said every innovative idea had the potential to become a successful enterprise if nurtured with determination.
