St. Mark’s Sr. Sec. Public School, India – Asia Pacific Winners 

Business: Nirmaan Enterprises
Nirmaan Enterprises sell bags made using scrap cloth. Students were involved in a brainstorming session which focussed on how the enterprise can be improved. From this session Nirmaan Enterprises decided that their business would diversify to sell:
  • Cushion covers
  • Table clothes
  • Napkins.
  • Cross stitching and block printing have been adopted make products more appealing.
The enterprise is eco-friendly, using reusable materials to create long lasting products which can be reused time and again. This strategy is highly topical in Delhi as the use of plastic bags has been banned. In addition to students gaining valuable entrepreneurial experience and business skills, the enterprise provides women with employment opportunities, acting as mentors to pupils.
Nirmaan Enterprises intend to spend their profits will be reinvested in to the business to purchase new accessories and fabrics to diversify further. Students are aiming to continue spreading awareness of the use of cloth bags rather than disposable plastic bags.

More Feedback

I enjoyed the selling our products the most in the school enterprise challenge.I think selling the products  was a great learning experience . Right from displaying our products and convincing people to buy them, we learnt a lot during the whole process.
The best part was when we convinced the people to buy the bags. As far as I am concerned I couldn't have imagined myself convincing people by telling them the stuff of the bags, their uses and their advantages over other bags available in market.But,I did..and that is a major achievement for me.
This entire process taught us many useful tips of marketing which I am sure would  help us to be good   entrepreneurs.
I found the selection of ladies, who would work for us, the most difficult task. At first we had no clue from where to start  but then we managed to contact some ladies from EWS  . We held   workshops for them to explain them our  work and their role in it. Next some raw materials were given to them so that we come to know the standard of bags they can provide  us .
After this session many ladies were finalised for working with us.
However we had a setback as many ladies who had agreed to work with us didn't turn up. This was a difficult phase for us but we coped with it and started our work with a group of 4-5 ladies.
This was  certainly a challenging phase to convince people to join us when our  execution plans were  just on paper . But there is always a first time and now after one year we have proved that where there is a will,there is a way.

Feedback of students and parents

Being involved in the school enterprise challenge,I got a personal inner satisfaction through my contribution towards the upliftment of  women. I felt I was doing my bit by selling the bags stitched by the women and motivating the students as well as their parents to purchase these bags for a social cause.

The most challenging part I found was to interact with the students as well as their parents whom I did not knew and convincing them and motivating them with the best of my capabilities to buy these bags to help the poor women, who strived hard to earn their livelihood for them and their families.

  I dream to become an entrepreneur but I never thought that I would be able to get the experience to become one at such a young age. It's a dream come true.I gained a lot. The most enjoyable moment for me and my colleagues was when our buyers appreciated us for our work and also took interest in our project and gave us new ideas to improve our work.                                                                                            
 The most challenging work was to convince and satisfy our buyers as we were new in business and
did not have any experience.

I am glad to know that a group of students including my son were given the resonsibility to handle the project-NIRMAAN ENTERPRISE  . Now that they have completed the project I feel it was a great success. The project has helped them grow in confidence to face future challenges of life. This project has taught them the value of money. Certainly this will be like planting a bud at this tender age so as to achieve a fruitful tree later.
