About Dr. Kalam Startup Parikrama:
Dr. Kalam Startup Parikrama is a state-wide effort to foster entrepreneurship and help startups. It is a campaign for potential entrepreneurs, students, existing startups, and colleges affiliated to AKTU, especially the ones who have the potential but are reluctant due to lack of knowledge. A basic level incubation center (K-CIIS) is established in A.K.T.U. to nurture the entrepreneurial energy of students and boost startup culture across all affiliated colleges of the University. Kalam Centre for Innovation and Incubation of Startups (K-CIIS) is organizing one day event at college campuses where workshops are conducted on startup and entrepreneurship followed by business plan competitions (pitching competition) to identify best startup plans from college campuses.
