Bower School of Entrepreneurship Announces UGC-Affiliated Undergraduate Program in Partnership with Young Skills University, Telangana
The Bower School of Entrepreneurship today marked a defining moment in its journey with the announcement of its UGC-recognized affiliation under Young India Skills University (YSU), Telangana. In a landmark event held at the Bower Campus in Hyderabad, this partnership was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that sets the foundation for India's most forward-looking Undergraduate Degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (BBA) a 3-year program designed to prepare future founders, creators, and changemakers. This strategic affiliation with Young Skills University places Bower among the first institutions in India to embed entrepreneurial thinking as the core academic pursuit at the undergraduate level aligned with national skill-building and innovation goals. The Milestone Evening, hosted to celebrate this affiliation, brought together academic leaders, innovation architects, and policymakers who have played a pivotal role in shaping India's startup ecosystem. The event was attended by leading educators, school principals, and career counselors reaffirming Bower's commitment to building not just an institution, but a movement for entrepreneurial education. The evening opened with a powerful address by Mr. Pavan Allena, Founder & CEO of Bower School, who shared the origin story of Bower and its vision to democratize entrepreneurial education for the next generation. This was followed by the felicitation of Mr. Ajit Rangnekar, who has been appointed to Bower's Advisory Council. Mr. Rangnekar, a name synonymous with innovation in higher education, is the Former Dean of the Indian School of Business (ISB) and the Ex-Director General of the Research and Innovation Circle of Hyderabad (RICH). His guidance is expected to play a transformative role in shaping Bower's academic and global strategy. Also joining the event was Mr. Srinivas Rao Mahankali (MSR), a widely respected ecosystem builder, former CEO of T-Hub, and currently an advisor at Abyro Capital. Known for his work in enabling startup acceleration and policy collaboration, MSR's insights helped frame the importance of embedding real-world entrepreneurial exposure in the education system. The evening's keynote was delivered by Mr. V.L.V.S.S. Subba Rao, Vice Chancellor of Young India Skills University and senior official in the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India. Mr. Subba Rao spoke about the national vision for skill universities and how institutions like Bower will play a catalytic role in bridging the gap between education, employment, and enterprise creation. The MoU Signing Ceremony between Bower and YSU symbolized a shared mission to offer a UGC-accredited BBA in Entrepreneurship and Innovation that is built on real-world application, venture-building immersion, and industry mentorship. 'This isn't just an academic milestone; it's a commitment to building India's boldest entrepreneurship school from the ground up,' said Mr. Allena.

YSU opens doors to Innovation Park as STEM hub
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Youngstown State University is opening the doors to the Williamson Innovation Park—an outdoor STEM education hub just outside the city. The space is designed for hands-on learning and aims to engage students across the Mahoning Valley in science, technology, engineering and math through workshops, camps and certifications. This summer, the park will host three week-long camps, including programs on eco-exploration, aviation, and wireless communication. 'The younger we get the students involved and engaged, the more likely they are to persist in studying these things. Whether it's at a university or just going into this field as a career in some capacity. So getting them excited and engaged earlier is more likely to get us that workforce that we're looking for,' said Emilee Brown, YSU director for STEM outreach and scholarships. YSU also plans to add drone piloting certifications and practice areas for robotics and racing teams to the site. Registration for the camps is open now, but space is limited.

YSU shares ‘Cinderella' story of Moon Miners
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – YSU is over the moon about its performance at a national robotics competition. The team scrapped one design and put together a simpler approach, which turned into a force. It called the performance a Cinderella story. The Moon Miners shone because they built The Joker. The wheels move independently, like a skid steer. The bucket can pick up 99 pounds. It performed when it mattered most. The Collegiate Space Mining Competition (CoSMiC) called for building a robot capable of moving simulated lunar soil with the least amount of energy.'I think the efficiency of it was really what was the big highlight for us? You know, we didn't pick up the most regulate, but we did it so efficiently that we ended up getting that third-place spot,' said Jad Abdo, with YSU Moon Miners. YSU's machine was the competition's lightest at 78 pounds. A 4K camera helped point the way. Moon soil is expensive, so the Moon Miners had their own special soil, practicing with the robot on the sand volleyball court. The Joker moved enough regulate to put YSU in third place, but the team was sweating to hold onto that position and receive a CoSMIC trophy.'And the next team that was up ran into a rock, and we're like we were sweating bullets. We're thinking that we were maybe gonna lose our third place,' said Christopher Neff, of Butler, Pa. The team of six senior electrical engineering students and a sophomore was YSU's first to go to a NASA-sponsored competition. The robot outperformed several more experienced groups in moving lunar soil'This is amazing because given the time frame and also the resources they have. I mean, third place is wonderful,' said Dr. Frank Li, with the YSU School of Engineering. The Moon Miners are not stopping. They want to return to the competition. A whiteboard shows the team's goals and possible design to recreate success. It's an important way to pass on to the next group of lunar robot builders.'To be able to kind of get a great idea of documentation, our schematics, our code, everything that they might need to be successful next year,' said Anthony Orr, of Canfield. The YSU team got third overall, and third place in autonomy and construction. They worked with a budget of just $5,500. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
