Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday launched an internet software for college heads, academics and Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum (EMC) coordinators to entry EMC-related teaching-learning materials.
Sisodia stated, below the EMC’s Seed Money venture, college students with “entrepreneurial skills” can be given an quantity of Rs 2000 to arrange enterprises.
The Delhi authorities stated in an announcement that the app will enable academics and HOS to “share EMC related resources and learning material, collect real time data of EMC classes and most importantly collect feedback from each EMC teacher”.
“The platform will use a decentralized approach, where teachers will be able to access all EMC resources. The success stories of the students will also be collected through the platform,” it stated.
The app was launched after a evaluate assembly of SCERT Director Rajnish Singh, Additional Director (Education) Rita Sharma, senior officers, heads of colleges, mentor academics and EMC coordinators.
“EMC aims to work and build on the entrepreneurial mindset of our students. Our school community, especially our teachers and school heads, need to embrace EMC as a subject in their daily teaching and learning. It is not just an initiative or scheme but a compulsory subject which will equip our students with the mindset and skills required to win in any challenge,” Sisodia stated on the event.
“If our children get 100/100 in Business Studies or 100/100 in Science, but if they are not able to apply their knowledge and skills, then our education and teaching is meaningless. Now, when employers hire individuals, they not only look for individuals who have knowledge, but also someone who can apply their knowledge in a constructive way… Keeping this in mind, we have to take EMC forward in a big way and believe that it has the power to create a pool of successful and meritorious students who will become job providers,” he stated.
EMC’s thematic models embody “sharing the success stories of students and activities”, a “micro-research project where students understand the pros and cons of being an entrepreneur”, and “live interactions with entrepreneurs that include local and well-known entrepreneurs”. Let’s speak” students “.
“One of crucial initiatives below EMC, which is in its pilot section, is the seed funding venture. Our preliminary plan was to present Rs 1000 to the kids to start out their very own enterprise. Our college students left themselves behind and got here up with ingenious concepts. We have now revisited the venture and plan to present Rs 2000 to the kids after reviewing the prototypes made based mostly on their concepts.
Sisodia additional stated that the federal government is able to give an quantity of Rs 50,000 if the kids are prepared to type a gaggle of 25 college students and type an enterprise. “We will use the approach used in Shark Tank to give seed money. Every HOS and teacher should watch that show and apply a similar approach in their schools,” he stated.
