SSIP Policy

The Student Startups and Innovation Policy (SSIP) introduced by the Government of Gujarat is designed to inspire and empower students to engage in entrepreneurial activities and innovative practices, thus contributing to the state’s economic growth and sustainability. The primary aim is to nurture the young population’s creative potential and encourage them to develop solutions that can lead to a more self-reliant (Aatmanirbhar) Gujarat.

Goal of SSIP Policy:

• To foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship among students: The policy seeks to encourage students to think creatively, come up with innovative ideas, and turn them into successful startups. The long-term goal is to create a vibrant ecosystem where young minds are empowered to become job creators rather than job seekers.

Objectives of SSIP Policy:

1. Encouraging Innovation and Entrepreneurship:
   The policy aims to build an ecosystem that supports the development of innovative products and services by students. It encourages the young population to explore new business ideas, technologies, and entrepreneurial ventures.
2. Providing Financial and Mentoring Support:
   To nurture student startups, the policy offers financial assistance, grants, and access to mentors, incubators, and accelerators. This helps students transform their ideas into real-world businesses.
3. Developing Entrepreneurial Skills:
   The SSIP encourages students to develop skills that are crucial for entrepreneurship, such as leadership, problem-solving, and business management. This is achieved through workshops, training programs, and exposure to the startup ecosystem.
4. Promoting Sustainable and Inclusive Growth:
   The policy emphasizes sustainable development, focusing on creating startups that have a positive impact on the environment and society.
5. Facilitating Collaboration with Industry:
   The SSIP aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry by promoting collaboration between educational institutions, industry leaders, and startups. This enhances the real-world relevance of students' innovative ideas.
6. Strengthening the Startup Ecosystem:
   The policy seeks to create a robust and supportive startup ecosystem in Gujarat. By establishing innovation hubs, incubators, and providing infrastructure support, SSIP fosters an environment conducive to entrepreneurship.
7. Fostering Regional Development:
   SSIP encourages students from different regions of Gujarat, including rural areas, to engage in entrepreneurship, thereby ensuring balanced regional development and reducing the urban-rural economic disparity.
8. Promoting Job Creation and Economic Independence:
   The policy aims to create job opportunities through the establishment of startups. It encourages students to explore self-employment, contributing to economic independence and reducing dependency on government jobs.

To grab this great opportunity, L. D. College of Engineering has started the SSIP Cell in the college. This cell regularly conducts seminars to inform students about the opportunities as well as the grants provided by the Government of Gujarat at different stages.
