Business Blasters: Experiences of girl students

Riya, a grade 11 student at GGSSS, started a Masks business with Rs 2000 in seed money. In just two months, she made a profit of Rs 10,000 and established herself as a service provider.

Two other Class 11 students, Khushi and Lisa Raymond, started their bakery business with Rs 4000 in seed money and collaborated with local women who were good cooks. They made a profit of Rs 5,000 after paying the bakers or housewives. If I had been in a private school, my friend and I might have missed out on this opportunity, said Khushi, while thanking the Deputy CM for completely changing society's perception of government schools.

Vanshika started a clothing business in which she resells clothes she collected from various sources. "We collect clothes from various sources, refurbish them, and sell them to people who cannot afford high-priced clothing," Vanshika explained to the Deputy CM.
