Entrepreneurship Key to Boost India’s Per Capita Income: Prabal Sen
Jamshedpur, Dec 16: The Department of Commerce, Jamshedpur Women’s University, organised a career awareness programme at its Bistupur campus on Monday to guide students on career opportunities in company secretaryship and entrepreneurship. The programme was conducted under the guidance of Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Anjila Gupta.
The event began with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp, followed by a welcome address by Dean of Commerce Dr. Deepa Sharan, who also introduced the keynote speakers. Company Secretary of the Jamshedpur Chapter, CS Surojit Bhumij, addressed the students in the first session and shared detailed information about career prospects in company secretaryship.
