A spirit of social service is vital to be a good entrepreneur, Satyendra Singh, the founder of Bastar Se Bazar Tak Pvt Ltd, said on Tuesday.
A student should keep in mind the market and society and their influence while venturing into entrepreneurship so that he can avoid the difficulties, he said.
Singh was speaking to a student entrepreneurial dialogue being organized by the Department of Rural Technology and Social Development at the Guru Ghasidas Central University, Bilaspur.
The young Singh appraised in detail how the tribal farmers of Bastar were selling various types of shakes, basundi, kulfi, tamarind, mango and jamun as well as their seeds, fibers and skins.
Dr. Dilip Kumar, Assistant Professor and Coordinator, Skill Development Cell, said that understanding the market demand and identifying opportunities were essential traits of a successful entrepreneur. He said that many youths were unable to establish entrepreneurship due to lack of technical skills.
