New Business Ideas

The students decided to take up the pickle and chutney making enterprise and were successful in their pilot business. The product was prepared under the guidance of the teachers and made a good business but because of the rainy reason the remaining pickle got spoilt and thus they could not move ahead with their business.

The students have come up with three other new business ideas namely-‘Mathri’ making (flaky biscuits) , candle and chocolate making. To get a feedback of preference, a questionnaire on each was prepared. The survey conducted showed that the people were more in favour of chocolates than the other two commodities.

A chocolate is one of the most popular food types and flavours. It most commonly comes in dark, milk and white varieties. It is liked by both young and old especially the kids. The students have already undertaken a survey to find the requirements and cost of the commodity prepared, from the nearby markets. The students of different departments-Production, Marketing and Finance , with their teacher mentors are busy in finalizing the ‘Business and Financial Plan’ of our upcoming enterprise.

On an Adventure

St. Mary’s School, Dwarka, takes pride in introducing its new adventure- ‘Pickle and Chutney making Enterprise’. We are all very pleased and excited to impart the skills of entrepreneurship to our students by taking ‘Pickle/Chutney making enterprise’ as an example. We selected these products as they are very popular among Indians and no Indian meal is truly satisfying without a relish – a pickle or a chutney.

We are presently in the process of introducing the concept of School Enterprise Challenge (Common Wealth) among the students of class VI to XII  ( from age group 11-17 years). The school has planned to take ‘School Enterprise Challenge’ as a project for Commerce sections of classes XI and XII. The students of these classes will be taken as the partners of the enterprise. This project will provide them with the hands-on experience on various features of entrepreneurship like –

                    Authority -------à Responsibility ----------à Accountability

During the interactive session with the students of commerce sections of class XI and XII, many of them exhibited their interest to be partners of the enterprise.

 Ms. Anjili Sarah Mathew, the Academic Co ordinator of our school will be the Director of the Enterprise.

The organizational structure will be finalized in the next two or three days under the expert hands of our worthy teachers.
