SLC Creates History
The E-Cell team of SLC, created history by getting better of almost 400 teams at the prestigious National level competition held by the IIT-Bombay called
National Entrepreneurship Challenge to emerge as the Champions. Overall more than 400 teams had registered for the event out of which only 15 had entered
the final round. The final round was held at the IIT-Bombay campus. The teams had participated from all over the country. From Delhi, teams from College of
Vocational Studies, and NSIT had also participated.
The cell was formed just 4 months back by the approval of the principal Dr. Rabi Narayan Kar.
This was a long event which needed the team to endure hard efforts for a span of more than four grueling months. The contest comprised three stages in all.
It may be interesting to note that the first part of contest began barely 11 days after the inception of the e-cell in the SLC. The first event of the cell
was the Illuminate workshop which set up the high standards which were religiously maintained by the e-cell. The IIT-B competition comprised many tasks like
debates, group discussions and presentations etc which were done well by the e-cell team of SLC.
The team came out at the first position on the
completion of first round. When the second round was completed, the team had not only maintained its first position, but consolidated its position by increasing
its lead over the runners-up.
This earned the team invitation from the IIT-B to participate in the final round of the National Entrepreneurship
Challenge. There, the mentor of the team, Dr. Bharat Bhushan ensured that the team did not fall prey to complacency. The e-cell team worked hard to ensure that
all the good work done so far does not go waste. This hard work paid off when the team got first position.
Dr. Bharat Bhushan said that the team got
constant motivation and support from the Principal of the college, Dr. Rabi Narayan Kar –be a matter of funds, suggestions or anything , he was always there for us.
The team comprised Arnima Gupta, Vibha Mahavar, Aparna Kushwah, Abhishek Bery, Angad Anand, Ashish Asawa, Tanmay Gupta, Anunay Aggarwal, Abhinav Shrivastava,
Naman Katyal, Deepak Bhaagwani ,Ayushi Malhotra, Anoushka Bhagat, and Karan Vijayan. Dr. Bharat Bhushan, Ms. Jyoti Sindhu and Ms. Monika Khemani were the faculty
members associated with the e-cell of the college. The president of the cell, Arnima Gupta attributed the success to the hard work of the team members, and the
unabated support and guidance provided by the convener of the cell, Dr. Bharat Bhushan.

The event was well attended by the faculty as well as students, and the response was overwhelming! When a session is comprehensible, questions crop up, and, therefore, the session saw wonderful and very active interaction between the audience and the speaker.
