Our education system contributes in a big way in turning people away from entrepreneurship. Doing business is not actively encouraged as a way of life in many families either. Rather business is looked at least by some as a way of making money at the expense of another. Which is not true for a good business.
Depending on the formal education system to teach a villager on the business infrastructure is useless. We could educate the youth of the villages on how to make a living by doing business. For some it come naturally. For the others it need to be shown. Fears of lack of capital kills one too many entrepreneurs. But if one does not know the avenues of finances possible great lives get nipped at the bud. Information is power.
In America, kids run lemonade stands in summer. They take part in many other entrepreneurial activities through out their childhood. These and the iconic glory of a capitalist society paves seeds of a business mind.
The disparity is even greater in Indian Villages. So any entrepreneurship based village development program we implement in the coming Years, should have an additional investment budget item for Educating a potential entrepreneur. Results can wait. But the hopes are great!.
