Budding Entrepreneurs Face Challenges, Emerge Winners!

St. Edmund’s School Jawahar Nagar is always up to something new and innovative and this is what drives us to cover various events here. Adding yet another feather to the cap of innovation was the participation of the school’s students in School Enterprise Challenge, a world-wide competition. It was a matter of privilege for all Jaipurities to see city’s student participate in a competition that aims to develop essential skills in business and entrepreneurship in students all across the world.

As a part of this competition, the young business minds of the school brought forth a project named Waste to Wealth, where they were grouped under student project-leaders who directed them with guidance from teacher incharge. For the project, the students generated funds by collecting and selling old newspapers, a concept they named “Each one brings one”. With the fund collected, they purchased pen refills and created new pens out of old and waste ones.

All in all, new stationary items were created by the funds saved and generated by the students. Not only this, but the young businesspersons also promoted their items through pamphlets. The entire effort was received with many accolades during the PTM where these stationary items were put on display and overall it was a big hit as it earned the students a lot of money.

Encouraging the budding entrepreneurs for their first step into the world of business was, Mr. Chandra Shekhar Arya, Director of Stomata Infotech, Haryana who attended the presentation of the students personally and appreciated their efforts. The participating students were congratulated and awarded by certificated by the school principal, Dr. Pooja Singh.
