Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, AAP Rajya Sabha MP and LPU Founder-Chancellor, announced a ₹25 lakh Entrepreneurship Competition at the 68th Association of Schools for the Indian School Certificate (ASISC) Conference, offering ₹5 lakh and mentorship to each of the top five student teams.
Addressing the gathering as the Chief Guest of the Conference which drew over 1800 principals and senior educators from across India, he underscored the urgent need to nurture an entrepreneurial mindset.
Speaking to the gathering, Dr. Mittal said, “Entrepreneurship today is a mindset, not a profession. It must begin in classrooms, as confidence, curiosity and the freedom to try.”
Additionally, he announced the rollout of a free Entrepreneurial Skills Builder App developed by Masters’ Union in collaboration with Tetr College of Business and VP Outgrow for ASISC-affiliated schools, enabling students to assess their strengths, track their innovations over time.
Reflecting on the day’s commitments, he added, “Our children must be equipped not just to take jobs, but to create them. With this app, seed funding and dedicated career guidance, we want every student to discover their strengths and convert ideas into meaningful solutions.”
Delegates expressed appreciation for the initiatives and noted that these will significantly strengthen the future readiness of school students across the country.
