My mission is nation building through education and beyond.
Each student of Amity will become a success story Amity is not just a group of institutions which imparts world-class education, but an experience where everyone associated is part of a dream, a mission to see that we nurture truly great leaders. In my over 30 years stay in West Germany I realised, through interacting with the over 6000 Europeans working for me, that we Indians have the intelligence, the talent and the potential to be the more successful people in the world. That is why we established the Ritnand Balved Education Foundation in 1986 to start institutions which will groom young future leaders to be complete, value-driven human beings and competent professionals with a deep passion for humanity. These will be the people who will lead the world. Today, we are proud that Amity is synonymous with practical, industryfocussed education, and attracts the best students. The fact that our alumni are working in the best companies across the world is a testament to our extremely talented faculty who inculcate, by example, in each student the spirit of dedication, sincerity and loyalty, and to all the corporates who support our mission with so much enthusiasm. Each one of our students will be a success story. This is my dream; this is my commitment.

“The solution to reduce the unemployability to quite some extent lies in the entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs are greatly instrumental in creating new job opportunities to the job seeking persons. This not only takes away the frustration and demotivation of such persons looking for a job, but also plays a big role in GDP growth of the nation”.

Innovation and Leadership are the pillars based on which entrepreneurship can be encouraged. Time is evolving rapidly and with recent innovations the youth have access to state-of-the-art technology which enhance their creative skills and allow them to evaluate opportunities contributing to the development of a vibrant economy.

At Amity, we nurture talent. The focus is to allow our students to burgeon into future leaders through fostering and channelizing their expertise into core areas of entrepreneurship adoption. We encourage faculty and students to conduct frontier research, innovate and create new products and services and engage in activities of technical assistance. The spirit of innovation can also help in changing human lives and capabilities and promote global growth and expansion. The emphasis is therefore on creating appropriate stratagems and ambience, gaining sustainable abilities and innovating with a holistic approach.

Amity believes in contributing to the national progress through the process of innovation and entrepreneurship and accord priority to the process through effective strategies.

Entrepreneurship and leadership skills are significant assets in our rapidly transforming age. Individuals with entrepreneurial skills find themselves drawn to opportunities, innovation and new value creation. Teaching entrepreneurship to students at an impressionable age focuses significantly on inter-disciplinary skill development that will make youth ready for unpredictable challenges. With globalisation and digitalisation, youth need to harness and develop skills that will make them a rich resource for an economic revolution and sustainable development of our nation. Entrepreneurship does not only focus on personal benefits but also on transforming the industry in such a way that it becomes more socially committed. With unknown threats to human existence, it is our collective duty to make innovation and development a professional and ethical duty.

At Amity, we focus on creating better opportunities of innovation and skill development for both our students and faculty members. For this, we are highly indebted to the visionary guidance of our Hon’ble Founder President, Dr. Ashok Chauhan, and our dynamic Chancellor, Dr. Atul Chauhan, who always promoted experiential learning and innovative thinking. The Amity Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (ACED) is created to promote entrepreneurship, use of latest technology and extend support to budding entrepreneurs from the neonatal stage of ideation to execution, with the help of various lectures, workshops, trainings, seminars, panel discussions and courses and also provide mentoring to the students.
