Entrepreneurship is a key to national development and the solution to many problems. The process of
Entrepreneurship is like planting a new tree.
An entrepreneur is like a tree. A tree provides filtered air for humans, fruits for kids, grass for animals, a home
for birds, and wood for the farmer.
In his way entrepreneurship brings a new solution to old human problems, entrepreneurship provides jobs for
skilled people, entrepreneurship increases demand in the market, brings competition to produce top-quality
products and services, is a source of income for the government, and influences society with leadership skills.
To enhance the Self Confidence, business management skills, creativity, communication and active listening
skills, networking skills etc. we organise HUNAR – FEST every year.
Also, write an attractive quote related to any topics mentioned in art integrated project, using fabric paint,
embroidery etc.
In today's world road and transport has become an integral part of every human being. Everybody is a road
user in one shape or the other. The present transport system has minimized the distances but it has on the other
hand increased the life risk. Every year road crashes result in loss of lakhs of lives and serious injuries to
crores of people.
In India itself about eighty thousand people are killed in road crashes every year which is thirteen percent of the
total fatality all over the world. Man behind the wheel plays an important role in most of the crashes. In most
of the cases crashes occurs either due to carelessness or due to lack of road safety awareness of the road user.
Hence, road safety education is as essential as any other basic skills of survival.
- to encourage safer road user behaviour among current and prospective road users
- to reduce the number of people killed and injured on our roads every year.
Make Cartoon presentations/write slogan/write quotation/make pamphlet/write shayari etc. on A-3 size sheet.
Paste the sheet on hard card board. Fix a strong stick in centre so that it can be hold properly while presenting
in nukkad nataks, rallies, stage shows etc.

diversity.
In order to achieve these goals we can take up small initiatives by following sustainable
practices given below. Choose any one topic from these and prepare models/PPTs.
1. CONSERVATION OF BIODOVERSITY (Bring awareness by making posters on
endangered species of animals or herbariums on different plants that are to be preserved
mentioning their ecological value.)
2. FOLLOWING SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES (Make house hold chemicals and
cosmetics, up-cycle wastes generated at home or any other sustainable practice)
3. IMPORANCE OF INDOOR PLANTS IN KEEPING THE INTERNAL
ENVIRONMENT CLEAN.
