As part of the Business Blasters programme that was launched in September, students in classes 11 and 12 will be mentored and provided financial capital of ₹2,000 as seed money to help kick-start their business ideas.

The Business Blasters television programme was started recently and gives students an opportunity to present their projects to investors. The fourth episode of the Delhi government’s Business Blasters on Sunday saw students proposing ideas such as an app-based stitching service.
