Entrepreneurial Orientation Among Diploma Students in Tiruchirappalli: Exploring Motivations, Institutional Support, and Employment Impact

Abstract

Entrepreneurship as a source of employment in Tiruchirappalli District, Tamil Nadu: When small businesses act as a source of employment growth it would result in a decrease in the unemployment rate in the country especially for the youth population. Despite a succession of studies on entrepreneurship education and its policies and challenges in the region, the factors influencing entrepreneurial orientation outside formal education are unclear. The current study aims to determine the major motivations for entrepreneurship among Diploma students at Tiruchirappalli. And the continuing discussion of whether entrepreneurs are born or made highlights the importance of understanding these forces. Through a review of existing literature, this study aims to identify the factors that influence students' ability to create their own business ventures or continue with their family businesses. Because these students can launch and grow their own businesses, Diploma students are a significant target for this study.
