Students from Mysuru’s Excel Public School have emerged as one of the top 10 participants in ShePreneur Programme, a CSR initiative of Dell Technologies in collaboration with Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, and Learning Links Foundation as an implementation partner.
The students - Asmita Rao, Deeksha G., and Gahana H. Prasad - currently in class IX, presented a millet vending machine for dispensing customised millet malts at the programme. The team contended with 26 other innovative projects presented by teams from all over India to secure the coveted spot. This girl-focused entrepreneurship and AI initiative program conceptualised by Dell Technologies is focused on fostering entrepreneurship and AI among students in India, particularly girls, according to a press release from the school.
The United Nations declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets to promote their cultivation and consumption globally, with India playing a leading role in advocating for this initiative.
