For these ‘business blasters’, the growth curve began from ₹1,000

Pilot project sees 41 students turn ‘simple ideas’ into profit-making ventures; programme will extend to all govt. schools from today, seed money will be hiked to ₹2,000

As part of a pilot project under the Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum, 41 students studying at the Delhi government’s School of Excellence in Khichripur were given ₹1,000 each as seed money and asked to start business ventures of their own. On Monday, the 41 students — who were divided into nine groups — presented the success of their nine business endeavours that had managed to make a profit over the past few months. Some business models were based on talents or hobbies that the students possessed while others were profit-making enterprises, which were born out of a need that arose during the pandemic.
