MANGALURU, 20 August, 2016 ( Bhatkallys News): The entrepreneurship workshop held here on August 18, 2016 by Bhatkali Jamatul Muslimeen, Mangaluru, enabled to awaken entrepreneur instincts of Bhatkal students. The workshop with a theme, 'Awaken the entrepreneur in you', evoked tremendous response from the participants who interacted well with the speaker. Initiating the workshop, Mr. Aftab Husain Kola, the workshop coordinator, said, "Entrepreneurship is a very vital aspect of any nation’s economy and is the crucial driver for employment and economic growth. Navayaths are a mercantile community, i.e. trading people. Right from the period they landed on the west coast of India around the eight century AD Navayaths have been engaged in businesses. But of late, our businesses in India are vanishing one by one. So, it is time we reemerge as a strong business community. That is the reason we have taken this initiative to organise a workshop to foster the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship in our youngsters."
