This marks the third consecutive year of the initiative aimed at transforming Delhi government school students into job creators rather than job seekers.

Education minister Atishi, announcing the program’s launch, emphasised the program’s scale and impact. “This year, with 2.45 lakh student entrepreneurs, seed money of Rs 40 crore, and over 40,000 startup ideas, the Business Blasters programme will prove to be a super hit once again,” Atishi declared. The initiative, which began in 2021, has consistently aimed to nurture entrepreneurial skills in high school students, preparing them to start their own businesses even before they complete their education.
