Entrepreneurship forms the backbone of the nation’s economy and to strengthen the entrepreneurship ecosystem, Udalguri College is working on the ideology of starting own ventures amongst Udalguri’s youth. Today’s youth need to be more inclined towards creating jobs rather than getting one. Therefore, to assist the youth to become self-employed and create employment opportunities, the college has provided support in every possible manner. Therefore, for this purpose, a full-incubation Cell was set up in Udalguri College on 2nd of March,2023.
