Govt allocates 40 cr for 'Business Blasters' programme in schools

Finance Minister Atishi said that only entrepreneurship can alleviate unemployment. In 2019, the AAP government introduced an Entrepreneurship Mindset curriculum in the schools with the goal to make children confident and capable that they don't seek employment after their studies but become job creators.

Notably, under the practical component of this curriculum called 'Business Blasters,' students in the 11th and 12th grades of the government schools are given seed money of ₹2,000 so that they can collaborate with their peers to create a business model that can generate profit.
