Education (PSSCIVE), Bhopal - a constituent unit of National Council of Educational
Research and Training (NCERT), Govt of India - organized Entrepreneurship
Adventure Camps for Vocational Students of classes 11th & 12th. During last two
months, two Entrepreneurial Adventure Camps were conducted at the EDII from
October 6 – 11, 2025 and November 24 – 29, 2025. 154 students participated in the
residential camp, which focused on introducing participants to the fundamentals of
entrepreneurship through interactive sessions, creative exercises, business
simulations and engaging group activities. The programmes aimed to build
confidence, encourage idea generation and help them to identify market gap,
turning those into opportunities for starting suitable business. 27 teachers also
participated as observers.

The camp activities were coordinated by Dr. Pankaj Bharti, Associate Professor, EDII.
Dr. Bharti says, “These camps are crucial in spreading awareness about
entrepreneurship. Developing entrepreneurial skills at a young age instils
tremendous amount of confidence, life skills and direction among children and
youth .”

Guiding young minds towards innovative thinking and independent decision-making
was reinforced through these camps.
