“Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) at NIT Durgapur started in 2015 as a modest initiative by a group of enterprising students aiming to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within the campus. Over time, this initiative gained momentum, evolving into a significant platform that nurtures entrepreneurial skills and connects students with industry leaders, investors, and successful entrepreneurs."

"Its flagship fest, E-Summit, has become one of the most prominent in Eastern India, comprising diverse events like E-Talks, Startup Expo, Internship Fair, among others. These initiatives provide students with opportunities to network, gain real-world insights, and transform their innovative ideas into viable business ventures. The cell's journey from a small student-led initiative to a leading entrepreneurial body reflects its unwavering commitment to promoting entrepreneurship and supporting the startup ecosystem both within and beyond the institute.”
