Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday said by giving capital of ₹2,000 to 3.5 lakh students of Delhi government-run schools under the ‘Business Blasters’ programme, the AAP dispensation is investing in India’s economy because it is grooming “future entrepreneurs”.
Earlier in the week , the Arvind Kejriwal government unrolled the ‘Business Blasters’ project under which capital are going to be given to students of classes nine to 12 and that they , in turn, need to invest it for running small businesses The programme has been launched under the ‘entrepreneurship mindset curriculum’, which is aimed toward developing young entrepreneurs at the varsity level.
In an interview with PTI, the deputy chief minister that he sees this programme as capital for India’s economy When we had allocated a budget of ₹60 crore for this project, we knew that it’s the capital for the country’s economy,” said Sisodia, who also holds the education portfolio.
He said Inda won’t become a five trillion dollar economy just by people talking about it How will we become a five trillion dollar economy? Not by just the prime minister saying so. For long we’ve been taught that India may be a developing country and that we will need to teach an equivalent to future generations if we do not address the core issue,” Sisodia said The only thanks to make India an economic powerhouse is to possess an entrepreneurial mindset and therefore the Aam Aadmi Party government is functioning on this, he said.
It is mandatory for each student to require part within the ‘Business Blasters’ programme. it’s not just for the scholars of commerce or business studies but also for those that study humanities and science, the deputy chief minister said He said that with this project, the AAP government wants to deal with the matter of joblessness.
Sisodia claimed that India has 25 crore homeless people and lakhs of civil engineers who are unemployed Anentrepreneurial mindset would involve utilising the talent of those civil engineers for providing homes to the homeless and during a way invest within the country’s economy, he said.
“You have 18 crore people that sleep without food a day then you’ve got unemployed youth from food science and agriculture university. We don’t have a scarcity of farmland. the sole thing missing is that the mindset. We are working to make that bridge which is currently missing,” the deputy chief minister stressed.
About successful return on the investment of the capital , he said it’s a risk which the govt has taken.
“The new education policy talks about taking risks and even the new age education says that children should be confident. As an education minister, i’m able to take the danger . We are giving ₹2,000 capital to children and giving them the liberty to take a position it.
“In case you do not make a profit, you’ll learn from the failure and just in case , you earn a profit, then you’ll learn entrepreneurship,” Sisodia said.
He said that even during the pilot program , administered among 41 children during a government school in Delhi’s Khichripur, some made a profit of ₹650 over the capital while another group earned a profit of ₹24,000 There are going to be losses. Someone will incur a loss of ₹650 and a few of ₹2500,” he said Teachers are being trained and that they will scrutinise the projects of scholars .
Some projects are going to be chosen and business coaches will guide the scholars . Then, district and state-level competitions are going to be held which can culminate during a carnival at Thyagraj Stadium in February next year where 100 projects are going to be displayed, Sisodia said According to the plan, investors are going to be invited to the carnival and students will mention the investment they have for his or her project.
Sisodia said this suggests that their projects won’t die Some students, chosen by certain criteria set by universities like NSUT and DTU, like innovation and investment, will get direct admission into BBA without an entrance test, he said.
“We spoke to universities and said that these students would are chosen out of three .5 lakh students and would have practical knowledge. Students who come through entrance exams learn from books and clear an exam within three hours but these students will have practical knowledge.
“I can assure you that in future, ideas like Facebook and Twitter are going to be coming from here,” the deputy chief minister saidSisodia exuded confidence that the ‘Business Blasters’ programme will change the way children perceive their studies I spoke to children about the result of the project. We learnt that when children develop confidence, they also start doing well in studies,” Sisodia said.
