Day1: 2nd March, 2014
We
at Jaipuria Jaipur began our entrepreneurship week journey with outreach
programs. The students were quite enthused about the theme of E-week
“Innovating for India”. They all unanimously felt that understanding problems
at grass root level is fundamentally important to innovate. The young brigade
of 43 students and Dr. S.K. Pandey along with CSR team member Mr. Prakash
Sharma explored the day long visit to the field.
Event 3: Interaction with Micro Vendor
Salim Bhai
Salim
Bhai (Sodaspura, Tonk Road)
Time: 11.55 AM – 12.10
PM
The
student’s team interacted with a micro vendor Mr. Salim Bhai. He is owner of a,
small shop of decorative items and he also keeps few Woolen clothes like
scarves. His business is in existence since past 10 years. He is the single earning
member in his family of 10 members. His shop is not approved by Government. Having
a quality of life and earning enough for upkeep of entire family for him was
tough for him.
Students
probed him, and asked lot of questions from him. Student’s team identified small
problem area and changes that can be done to make his business more fruitful.
They also suggested him to get the shop approved so as to have a better future
of his shop as well as his family. The changes to run the business was accepted
him quite swiftly and he agreed to apply them in coming days. He also took
number of some students, and said he will talk to them for some need. One of
the students felt so good and said……..WOW this is what Mentor’s does for
us…….And I did mentoring for someone today. The feeling of Proud was worth
thousand dollars at that moment.
