Entrepreneurship curriculum is an indispensable subject in schools: Sisodia

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum (EMC) in schools will equip our students with the mindset and skills needed to triumph in any challenge. He also launched a Web application for all heads of schools (HoS), teachers and coordinators to access related teaching-learning material.

“The purpose of EMC is to work and build on the entrepreneurial mindset of our students. Our school community, especially our teachers and heads of schools need to accept EMC as a subject in their daily teaching and learning. It is not just an initiative or a scheme but an indispensable subject that will equip our students with the mindset and skills needed to triumph in any challenge. We have to take the Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum very seriously and, through it, enable students to apply what they learn. EMC as a subject will help students identify opportunities for self and will be successful in careers and life,” Sisodia said.

“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.
