One of fundamental aims of a university education is to prepare better citizens for the country. While the ideal is an extremely noble one, most universities tend to focus on academic excellence as a means to achieve it. There is a dearth of systems that nurture and promote tomorrow’s potential “change enablers” within the student base. NSEF aim is to empower the students through exposing to the field of social entrepreneurship through various activities.
