A collaborative initiative aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and practical learning among students was formally launched with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Shree Gujarati English Medium High School, managed by Shree Gujarati Mahajan Association (SGMA), and Swastika National Business School. The programme was held at the auditorium of Shree Gujarati English Medium High School on Tuesday. The MoU was signed by Nigam Vasani, President of SGMA.
The MoU seeks to promote entrepreneurship, skill development, experiential learning, and practical business exposure among school and college students through structured academic and co-curricular collaboration. As part of the initiative, the institutions will jointly organise regular skill development programmes, workshops, and mentoring sessions for students and faculty members.
- The MoU offers school students early exposure to entrepreneurship, helping them build a clear understanding of business fundamentals and innovation from a young age.
- It creates a school–college learning bridge, allowing students to benefit from the academic expertise and practical insights of a business school environment.
- Students will gain hands-on experience through live projects, case studies, and real ventures, rather than only theoretical learning.
- The collaboration encourages mentorship-led learning, where experienced faculty and industry practitioners guide students through practical business challenges.
- It promotes financial literacy and business awareness, equipping students with essential life skills such as budgeting, marketing, and decision-making.
- The initiative supports student-led startups and entrepreneurial thinking, inspiring creativity, leadership, and confidence.
- Faculty members from both institutions will benefit from knowledge sharing and collaborative teaching practices, strengthening overall academic quality.
- The three-year duration of the MoU ensures continuity, long-term planning, and measurable outcomes for students and educators.
- The partnership with Swastika National Business School adds academic credibility and industry-oriented perspective to the school’s entrepreneurship initiatives.
A key highlight of the initiative is the launch of a student-led start-up, The Alovera, founded by two of our Class 9 students, Phoolvati and Damini. The venture reflects their early interest in business and product development and stands as a proud example of how classroom learning can translate into real-world ideas. This initiative marks an encouraging step in nurturing entrepreneurial thinking among students at a young age.
Speaking on the occasion, representatives of the school management highlighted the importance of introducing business awareness and real-world skills at the school level, while officials from Swastika National Business School emphasised experiential learning as a foundation for future-ready education.
The MoU, valid for three years, sets out plans for joint workshops, business and marketing skill sessions, collaborative projects, and faculty development programmes. Both institutions expressed confidence that the partnership would create meaningful opportunities for students to explore innovation, leadership, and entrepreneurship alongside their formal education.
