What is YES?
Student entrepreneurship has always been essential to our country's overall
entrepreneurial success. In accordance with NEP, we recognise that entrepreneurial
knowledge is a must among avid school students.
Young Entrepreneurs @Schools
is an event providing school students with effective mentorship about the basics of
entrepreneurship and helping them to implement these learnings through the help of
innovative competitions practically.
Our Vision
We aim to inculcate the spirit of entrepreneurship in young and creative school
students. YES promotes entrepreneurship in India by stimulating the young minds of
school students through effective mentorship and innovative competitions.
We wish to introduce all the school students to the entrepreneurial world so that they
can understand and appreciate the spirit of entrepreneurship.
What does it include?
YES is a two-staged competition divided into mentorship and application phases. The
mentorship phase consists of 2 well-structured modules which cover all the key aspects
of basic entrepreneurship understanding and aim to work as a foundation for the
student's entrepreneurial journeys. The application phase consists of competitions that
aim to instil the learnt knowledge through fun tasks while competing with other
participating schools.
