PTI | October 10, 2012



The National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development (NIESBUD) has joined hands with the Sun Online Learning India to promote the e-learning initiative (www.careerstrokes.com) developed by the company for career planning and career enhancement.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between NIESBUD Director General Arun Kumar Jha and Sun Online Learning India Director Kris Srikkanth, who is also the former captain of the Indian cricket team, an official release on Monday said.

The digital learning package consists of two modules -- employability skills and entrepreneurship skills.

"These modules have been designed with the objective of equipping the students and professionals with the skill sets required to make them employable or successful entrepreneurs," the statement said.

The unique feature of the package is that each issue has been handled through giving analogy from cricket so that the learning becomes easy and interesting, it added.

The understanding between the two organisations, besides promoting the initiative among the associates of institute, is to contribute towards promotion of entrepreneurial culture among different strata of the society through their holistic development, it said.

The NIESBUD, under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), is engaged in training, research and other interventions with the objective to promote entrepreneurship and development of small and micro enterprises in the country.
