Entrepreneurship is an important factor in economic development, innovation, and job creation, and the city of Coimbatore has emerged as one of the major entrepreneurial centers in South India. The city is known as the “Manchester of South India” and provides a strong industrial foundation, a conducive government policy framework, and high-quality educational institutions that together facilitate the development of entrepreneurship. The purpose of this study is to investigate the degree of awareness about entrepreneurship among students in the city of Coimbatore, particularly focusing on the role of education, technology, and skill development. A descriptive research approach was employed, and the primary data was gathered from 125 students using a structured questionnaire method with convenience sampling. Secondary data was obtained from journals, articles, and existing research studies. Statistical methods such as Chi-square test and correlation analysis were employed for the analysis of data. The results indicate that students have a moderate to high level of awareness about entrepreneurship and government programs such as the Mudra Yojana. The Chi-square test result indicates that there is no significant relationship between gender and levels of awareness, and both male and female students have equal levels of awareness. The result of correlation analysis shows that there is a very weak and insignificant relationship between educational qualification and the availability of programs related to entrepreneurship. The conclusion of the study reveals that although awareness exists among students, there is a need to improve exposure and training in order to convert awareness into entrepreneurial intention and action. The study provides important insights for institutions and policymakers to improve entrepreneurship education and develop future entrepreneurs in the city of Coimbatore.
