Incubation

Introduction to β€œWINGS”

WINGS- β€œWomen’s Incubation cell for Growth and Support”.

WINGS an innovative undertaking by Dr. BMN College provides support and guidance to our student entrepreneurs and helps them during the initial turbulent times. WINGS provides these entrepreneurs with the initial required programs and resources in the form of guidance, publicity, and mentoring.

The Logo is designed by one of our students which depicts that the women can spread their wings by starting their own venture.

As the logo depicts, when given the wings and freedom of flying women can fly high with their aspirations and talents. We at Dr. BMN College have created this platform called WINGS which intends to encourage such women entrepreneurs so that they can reach their ambitions and soar high.
