Business blasters programme in private schools too from 2023: Sisodia

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the city government’s Business Blasters programme, which aims to encourage entrepreneurial mindset among students, will also be started in private schools from 2023. He was speaking at the Business Blasters Investment Summit and Expo at Thyagraj Stadium, Delhi. Over 100 business ideas by government school students were presented to investors at the summit.

“In view of its success, in the coming time, the Delhi government will start the programme in private schools of Delhi as well. A meeting will be held with private schools on March 7 to discuss how to go about it, he said. The minister said that India cannot become a USD 5 trillion economy with the job seekers mindset.

Business Blasters project is a practical component of the Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum for classes XI and XII, where students are given seed money (Rs. 2000 each)  to build on an idea that generates profit, or solves a social problem.
