As an initiative towards inculcating entrepreneurial spirit and increasing industry interaction, the E-Cell and Institution’s Innovation Council organised an industrial visit for interested students from all disciplines on September 20th from 10 am to 4 pm. 45 students were taken to the Centre for Incubation and Business Acceleration, Verna, Goa. Mr. Samay Shetti, Community Manager, CIBA-Verna conducted a session on the role of business incubators in the entrepreneurial journey. Mr. Samay also gave students a tour of the various facilities available such as 3D printing room and food processing facilities at CIBA. The students also got an opportunity to interact with the promoter of a Jaipur based start-up named “Shehree” currently operating from CIBA.
The students were then taken to an organic mushroom cultivation farm in Sanguem. The farm owner Ms. Maxswinnie Rebello explained the process of preparation and cultivation of oyster mushrooms. She also introduced students to the various varieties of oyster mushroom and briefed the students on the essential prerequisites such as temperature, light, humidity conditions required for the cultivation process.
