Encouraged by the success of 41 government school students who used the seed money of ₹1,000 per student to deliver nine profitable entrepreneurial projects, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Monday said that the pilot will be extended to all government school students of classes 11 and 12 with the amount being increased to ₹2,000 as announced during the annual budget this year.
As part of its Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum introduced in 2019, students at Delhi government schools received ₹1,000 as seed money for their approved business ideas. This March, the Delhi government proposed to increase the seed money to ₹2,000.
The scheme will benefit nearly 350,000 students, Sisodia said.
