EDI plans Rs 16 crore expansion

Taking a cue from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Gandhinagar-based Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDI) is all set to introduce two year Post Graduate Programmes (PGPs) into its curriculum.

The move is a part of the institute's expansion plans for the upcoming academic year at an investment of Rs 16 crore.

While two of these programmes including PGP for Executives (PGPX) and PGP for Corporate Entrepreneurship will be introduced for the first time at the campus, the institute has sought an All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) approval to convert its one-year Post Graduate Diploma in NGO Management and Post Graduate Diploma in Business Entrepreneurship into two-year full-fledged courses.

"We are planning for an expansion at our Gandhinagar campus and will soon be inviting applications for these courses. While we have a faculty strength of 35, the institute is inducting 15 additional faculty members this year," said Dinesh Awasthi, director of EDI.
