Selected Idea – Most practical one
Skill based assessments than knowledge based
assessments as the norm of evaluation
Focus of education in schools, colleges should be on skill than knowledge. This
primarily requires a change in the mindset . If this is done, students will start to apply
what they learnt and not just learn the rote way. This will also encourage them to
discuss and when this becomes a habit, we will have more entrepreneurs and
innovators in our country

Selected Idea – Most disruptive one
Scholarships for students with good ideas
Given the background of the stakeholder, the state/ central government should have a
system of selecting the innovative few Business ideas every year and funding the start
up for three years or till it breaks even (whichever happens first). That way, the right
ideas get to see the light of the day.
The selection can be done by entrepreneurs from different fields
