Several existing schemes and courses are being revised with new elements to enhance their impact, he said.
Among them is New Era of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and Vision, or NEV, which will introduce students to business-related activities, he said.
The official added that NEV would be different from the Business Blasters programme and would offer a fresh set of activities.
Another new programme, called 'Rashtraneeti', will be introduced for students across class to give them "practical" knowledge of governance, democracy, active citizenship, and policymaking, he added.
