PROBLEM STATEMENT





Selected Idea – Most practical one

Skill based assessments than knowledge based assessments as the norm of evaluation

Focus of education in schools, colleges should be on skill than knowledge. This

primarily requires a change in the mindset . If this is done, students will start to apply

what they learnt and not just learn the rote way. This will also encourage them to

discuss and when this becomes a habit, we will have more entrepreneurs and

innovators in our country

PROBLEM STATEMENT





Selected Idea – Most disruptive one

Scholarships for students with good ideas

Given the background of the stakeholder, the state/ central government should have a

system of selecting the innovative few Business ideas every year and funding the start

up for three years or till it breaks even (whichever happens first). That way, the right

ideas get to see the light of the day.

The selection can be done by entrepreneurs from different fields

PROBLEM STATEMENT





Selected Idea – My favourite!!

Bells ring in the sky when your idea is the right one and is going to fetch you millions

Uncertainty is the obstacle that people find most difficult to handle
