        abstract = {This comparative theoretical study explores 
fostering entrepreneurship skills and mindset among 
youth in higher education institutions across Kerala, 
Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, leveraging frameworks 
like the Entrepreneurial Event Model and Theory of 
Planned Behavior. It analyzes regional initiatives from 
2015-2025, highlighting Kerala's innovation hubs for 
sustainable ventures, Tamil Nadu's scaled financial 
programs yielding high startup volumes, and West 
Bengal's social entrepreneurship networks amid 
infrastructural challenges. Despite progress, gaps persist 
in blended formal-informal education, longitudinal 
outcome tracking, and equitable access, warranting 
hybrid policy models for India's demographic dividend.},
