Inauguration of Center for Incubation and Entrepreneurship Education at SMIU

Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh, Vice Chancellor of Sindh Madressatul Islam University inaugurated the newly established Center for Incubation and Entrepreneurship Education at SMIU, on Monday, 23rd April 2018. After inaugurating the Centre, Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh addressed students, faculty and senior management of SMIU at its Senate Hall.
In his address, Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh said that Sindh Madressatul Islam University has practically taken efforts to train its students who are interested in entrepreneurship and business after completion of their education from SMIU. He said that the students especially of Department of Business Administration of the university will be provided all facilities to learn the techniques of trade and business and they will also be financially supported to start their small business. In this respect the SMIU will provide them seed money that will be recovered from them in installments after some time when their business will start to generate profit. He said that the center will play an important role to establish relationship between industry and academia also.
Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh said that our nation and country would emerge as a developed nation and country like USA, China, Japan, Thailand and other countries only when our people participated in business activities and did not depend on government jobs. Tracing the history of Indus Valley Civilization, Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh said that during the era of Mohen Jo Daro, Sindh was known as a nation of traders and businessmen and it was also producing a great variety of cotton, which was called Sindan. He said the people of Sindh continued their business and trade afterwards, but later on, when British occupied Sindh, they destroyed Sindh’s business in a scheme to flourish their own business there.
Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh further said that today our country faces two big problems, unemployment and poverty. But we can resolve these fundamental problems through establishing business activities in all areas of the country. Dr Shaikh said that, in this respect SMIU will take initiative initially from Sindh and will provide technical know-how and other related information specially to the youth of other parts of Sindh so that they could start their small businesses and other self-employment initiatives. Dean Faculty of Business Administration, Prof. Dr Zahid Channar, Dean Faculty of IT, Prof. Dr Syed Asif Ali, Director ORIC, Dr Stephen John, Registrar of SMIU, Mr. Gulzar Ahmed Mughal and Ms. Quratulain Memon, Manager Research, Operation and Development, ORIC also spoke on the occasion.
