Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia reviewed progress of the Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum (EMC) in schools and launched a web application for all heads of schools [HoS], teachers and coordinators to access EMC-related teaching-learning material. Success stories from the students will also be gathered through the platform. Mr. Sisodia said that the government has decided to give ₹2,000 to children as seed money after reviewing the prototype they create based on their idea. Initially, the government was giving ₹1,000 as seed money. “We are ready to give ₹50,000 if children want to form a group of 25 students and create an enterprise. We will use the approach used in Shark Tank [a TV show] to give seed money. Every HoS and teacher should watch that show and implement a similar approach in their schools,” he said.“Spider wasp,” says ecologist and nature educator Vena Kapoor, narrating the fascinating but macabre tale of the spider wasp and its victims. While adult spider wasps mostly feed on flower nectar, making them excellent pollinators, they are also what are known as “parasitoids.” Unlike parasites, they kill their host. In the case of spider wasps, females hunt down spiders, inject them with venom and lay eggs on them. Once they hatch, the larvae eat these spiders alive, inevitably killing them, she tells the huddle of women cloistered around this tree.
