Entrepreneurship
CBSE Curriculum Class XI and Class XII
About
Entrepreneurship is fast emerging
as a premier field of study in school, colleges and
universities the world over. Although entrepreneurs
have existed and enriched life on the planet right through
the ages, it is only recently that research in the field
has kindled interest for a systematic study of the entrepreneurial
processes and qualities. Forces of globalization and
knowledge engineering have engendered a radical transformation
in occupational stereotypes. The impact of this phenomenon
has been most strongly felt in education compelling
a close scrutiny of epistemological issues against the
changing dynamics of wealth formation.
The course in Entrepreneurship is
in its second year in CBSE- affiliated schools and the
growing popularity of the course augurs well for our
nation. The Board is hopeful that the students who have
opted for this subject will acquire motivation, skills
and knowledge to become successful entrepreneurs in
the future. Another important objective is to bring
about a change in the mindset of students: that it is
always not necessary to seek employment after completing
their studies; they can themselves create employment.
Such a change will produce a vibrant and motivated youth
population who will strive to achieve their potential
and who will pursue the path of excellence.
As the course has both theory and
practical components, besides the text books, the Board
will shortly publish a manual on the practical work
to be undertaken by the students both in class XI and
class XII. Simultaneously induction courses are being
conducted to train the teachers for effective curriculum
transaction. The projects suggested in this book and
the practical work prescribed will relate education
to the place of work.
