Through expert interaction, students gained practical perspectives on mushroom farming, innovative approaches, and the possibilities of developing startups within the food and nutrition sector. The initiative encouraged students to think beyond conventional career pathways and develop an entrepreneurial mindset grounded in innovation, self-reliance, and practical skills. With the participation of <strong>78 students and 10 volunteers<\/strong>, the programme contributed to strengthening students\u2019 awareness of entrepreneurship and creating a meaningful connection between academic learning and real-world business practices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/4-quality-education.webp\" alt=\"Quality Education\" class=\"wp-image-154\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cultivating Success: Startup Sensitization with Mushroom Innovation Institution&#8217;s Innovation Council Food &amp; Nutrition 26-08-2025 Brainware University, in collaboration with the Department of Food &amp; Nutrition, the Institution\u2019s Innovation Council (IIC), and with the support of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), organised an event titled \u201cCultivating Success: Startup Sensitization with Mushroom\u201d to promote innovation and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4874,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,40,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-04-quality-education","category-food-nutrition","category-iic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4869"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4875,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4869\/revisions\/4875"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brainwareuniversity.ac.in\/news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
