Delhi government plans to bring ‘Entrepreneurship’ program to schools

It is possible that schools run by the government of Delhi will soon impart lessons in entrepreneurship to the students of classes 9 to 12, according to the Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. He said that the main of the initiative is to make the students future ready. "We plan to introduce entrepreneurship curriculum in our schools for class 9 to 12 students. Entrepreneurship does not necessarily mean business, we plan to develop life skills, behavioral skills and to impart proper etiquette into the minds of children in order to de-condition them and make them future ready," Sisodia, who is also Delhi's Education Minister, said. "We need to teach them to dream by sharing real life stories so that their mind can be evolved, and by doing this, we can build a better nation" he said. During the panel discussion, he also pointed out the importance of "Living Mindfully: Initiatives and Learnings" at New Delhi Institute of Management (NDIM). He said that the biggest reason for India to be a developing country is because "we focus on schooling, not education". "We only study to get a degree but not adapt those lessons in our daily life," the Deputy chief minister said. On Wednesday, the Delhi government has also announced the cleanliness curriculum in schools.
