Zeal Entrepreneur Development Cell

Zeal Entrepreneurship Development Cell has been established and working under the auspices of  Shri. S.M. Katkar, who has also founded Zeal Education Society to propagate elementary to professional education with a special focus on building indigenous knowledge and independent employability skills. Since its inception of Zeal Education Society, our Founder Director has time and again exhorted the trustees of the Society, faculty members of the affiliated institutions, and the student community about the importance of self sufficiency in career planning.

Thanks to the shrinking job opportunities, increasing entrepreneurial opportunities, and more conducive environmental changes, the thought process on shaping a working model of Zeal Entrepreneurship Development Cell started a year back. After relentless follow up, and conviction of Prof. Jayesh Katkar, the dream of our founder was materialized on 2^nd March, 2013. Mr. Pramod Choudahry, Chairman, PRAJ Group, Dr. E. B.
