Abstract [English]

This study was aimed at exploring the Entrepreneurial aspirations, inhibitions and traits of youth in different colleges in Thoothukudi district. Youths in colleges are most powerful and realistic to create positive change than any other generation. They are the agent of social mobility. Constructive aspiration of youth has positive consequences in society. Developing entrepreneurial skills among youth is more important for the growth of an economy like India. It will create employment opportunities and increase the country’s exports, which in turn will lead to improvement in the standard of living. Job aspirations is directed a young student towards correct path according their ability. The word ‘Aspiration’ denotes that ‘a will to succeed’. It helps to move an individual from one socio-economic position to other. For occupational mobility college youths need to have correct planning and correct training through proper guidance. The important skill with regard to the development of entrepreneurs is the entrepreneurial traits. This rising interest in the topic can be explained by its interdisciplinary trait, broadening the well-established nature of studies on entrepreneurship by including aspects related to organizations, human resources, leadership, and competitive strategies. The entrepreneurial traits are important factors in developing prospective entrepreneurs and creating new ventures, and the educational institutions as well as the government should lend a helping hand to the students in this regard.
