A huge back up to the state government’s proposed ‘Student Entrepreneurship Policy’ came on Monday with actor Mammootty asking his legion of fans to back the campaign.
In his latest post on Facebook, Mammotty wrote: “If Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook were campus startups, I share the vision of Kris Gopalakrishnan that our youth in colleges will also build a global company one day.
Thus, I support the student movement ‘30 days to Freedom’ to spread awareness on student entrepreneurship policy.
” The policy, which was mentioned by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy at the recently concluded ‘Emerging Kerala’ global investors’ meet, provides 20 per cent attendance and 4 per cent grace marks to students engaged in entrepreneurship during their study.
The very next day, students of Thiruvananthapuram Engineering College, led by Sharan Thampi, head of its Entrepreneurship Cell, started the online Facebook page with a countdown to ensure that the Chief Minister keeps his word and delivers results in 30 days.
The page has had over 3000 likes so far and the campaign has gathered momentum with Entrepreneurship Cells formed in over 83 colleges in the last 14 days.
Mammooty in his message also appealed to his fans to support the ‘30 days to freedom campaign’ online and like, share and spread the word.
