[Audio] Good morning everyone, Today, I would like to present the A.P. Residential Degree College from Nagarjuna Sagar and its Community Service Project Report on Entrepreneurship. This report includes an introduction to the origin of the word Entrepreneur, a Socio-economic survey of Proddatur village, as well as the history of Proddatur. I am very excited to share this valuable information with you..

[Audio] Good morning, everyone. Today, I want to talk to you about entrepreneurship. As you know, entrepreneurship is when an individual applies their unique idea to the market in order to bring something new and disruptive to the world. It usually starts out as a small venture, but it can quickly grow into something much bigger, with the goal of obtaining high profits and gaining a larger share of the market. It takes insight, information, and resources to effectively start and manage a business venture. The origin of the word entrepreneur dates back to the 13th century, with the French verb entreprendre, which translates to "to do something" or "to undertake." By the 16th century, the noun form was being used to refer to someone who was taking on the challenge of running a business. And in the 19th century, French economist Jean-Baptist Say was the first to use the term in its current form. So, what does all this mean for us here today? Simply stated, entrepreneurship is an opportunity for individuals to bring their dreams to life. It takes courage, knowledge, and resources, but it's possible to achieve great success with hard work and dedication. Thank you..

[Audio] The third slide of this presentation focuses on Proddatur, a city located in YSR Kadapa District of Andhra Pradesh. It is the second largest town in the district and is home to many temples, including one where Lord Rama is said to have resided. Proddatur is also known for its business and its grand Dussehra celebrations. It became a municipality in 1915, and has since seen many upgrades. Its rich cultural heritage and ancient history makes it a unique and vibrant city..

[Audio] In my village, I identified several challenges, ranging from inadequate road and electricity facilities to lack of hygiene, education and drinking water. Healthcare and hospital facilities, drainage systems, career awareness, infrastructure, and employment opportunities are all lacking. These issues have a direct impact on the quality of life of the residents, and they need to be addressed if the village is to develop and progress..

[Audio] Entrepreneurs are a vital part of our economic system and play an important role in the development of any nation. Aspiring entrepreneurs create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and introduce new products and services, thus creating a competitive market that serves the needs of society. They also promote innovation by engaging in research, development and finding solutions to problems that have not yet been solved. We must therefore recognize and support entrepreneurs and the role they play, both in the economic and social development of our nation..

[Audio] Entrepreneurs play a vital role in creating and improving the national economy. They take advantage of the markets to develop new products, services and open up new markets, which leads to an increase in revenue and economic growth. Entrepreneurs also promote research and development, discovering new ideas and improving existing ones. They are also valuable in developing and improving existing enterprises, modernizing production processes and helping existing enterprises to utilize existing resources in more efficient ways.".

[Audio] Good morning! Today, I'm going to talk about the Community Service Project Report on Entrepreneurship from A.P. Residential Degree College. The report is a result of hard work and dedication of students and guidance of faculty. As part of the project, we conducted three community awareness programmes - one on Becoming an Entrepreneur, another on Start-up India Scheme, and the last one on Skills of Entrepreneurs. Let's start with the first programme. This was conducted to help people become aware of the seven steps to becoming an entrepreneur. We focused on building their skill set, knowledge base, network, and finding a market. Next, we talked about the Start-up India Scheme, which was launched by PM Narendra Modi in 2015. The objectives of the scheme were to promote and support start-ups in India by providing bank finances. Finally, the programme on Skills of Entrepreneurs was conducted to help people understand the need for financial, communication, leadership and time management skills. We hope that our community awareness programmes will help more people become entrepreneurs and contribute to the growth of India. Thank you..

[Audio] After conducting a field survey on behalf of the A.P. Residential Degree College, I have identified certain problems faced by villagers and farmers. These range from inadequate infrastructure to difficulty in marketing of agricultural products. To address these problems, I have proposed several solutions and recommend that the government allocate funds accordingly in their annual and five year plans. This will help ensure that the needs of people living in rural areas are met and their difficulties resolved..
