Abstract: Urban Development has been always associated with developing economic and social infrastructure. But there is much more beyond infrastructure when state is looking for inclusive and sustainable development in the heart of nation. The role of youth and potential socially responsible entrepreneurs is vital in this process of community development. This study aims to understand whether, there is association between the exposure for skill development and internships at commercial entities and development of attitude for being responsible entrepreneur. It further also explores perception of respondents on being associated with socially awaken businesses in terms of inclusiveness and sustainability. The researchers collected primary data from 176 respondents through a structured questionnaire using nonprobability sampling method. The data was analyzed through descriptive tools such as frequency and percentage and inferential analysis was done through nonparametric tests such as one sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, Chi square Test and Kruskal Wallis Test. The analysis suggests that majority respondents believe inclusive growth can be achieved through responsible entrepreneurship. Also, there is significant difference in perception across the faculty of the learners as the exposure levels are different. At the same time the frequency of such exposure changes attitude of learners towards contributing to nation building through community development. In conclusion, the opportunities created by New Education Policy,2020 has been impacting positively in achieving its fundamental goal to leas India towards the Vikasit Bharat by 2047.
