Dr. Veena M. D Almeida

Abstract :

 It is often felt that in the developing countries, educated people do not seek entrepreneurial options but prefer government or private jobs. Thus, entrepreneurship gets a lower priority in the career plans of the educated youth. Though not everyone is expected to become an entrepreneur, nor can everyone be an entrepreneur, yet experiences of the last few decades both in India and aoad clearly show that it is possible to develop entrepreneurs through planned efforts. Thus, job seekers can be motivated to become potential job creators through entrepreneurship development. The myth that “entrepreneurs are born and not made” no longer holds well. By integrating entrepreneurship in the education system, young people can build the confidence to see value in their own ideas. What are the skills required to become a successful entrepreneur? To what extent our undergraduates possess these skills? With the oad objective of evaluating the entrepreneurial skills possessed by undergraduate students, the present study was undertaken in the district of Mysore in Karnataka state
