decision makers, that youth in the country need to be trained to international
productivity levels in quantity and quality required by different sectors of
the economy for different entry- age levels of the work -force, and not just
the organised sector - as is largely happening today in the country.

enterprise and business education from school going age itself. Research is
being done for this at following levels:
a) Elementary
School Enterprise Education
For children from about age 5 yrs. to 11 yrs., This research would attempt to :
- introduce the students to their role in the local economy and enterprise,
- introduce them to opportunities and resources in their immediate environment as also in the region,
- help them understand enterprise operations, systems and issues.
b) The Middle School Enterprise Education
This research would be aimed at children from age 12 yrs. to 14 yrs. and would build on knowledge and skills already learnt by them in Elementary schools.
c) The
High School / Vocational & College Oriented Enterprise Education
This would aim at giving students, hands on experience on how to organise and operate an enterprise. It would build in them the aspects of practical team-work, communication skills, understanding one’s own role vis-a-vis needs in a community, learning from experience of elders and established entrepreneurs, in the typical Indian Guru-Shishya Parampara i.e. Teacher-disciple tradition.
