The Heritage School Kolkata was announced winner in School Enterprise Challenge 2011
Kolkata:  After defeating competitors from all over the world, The Heritage School Kolkata has been named as the winner of Teach A Man To Fish's School Enterprise Challenge. Their school enterprise won the prize in the ‘Planet’ category.
Teach A Man To Fish is an international education charity committed towards tackling global poverty. They support schools across Africa, Asia & Latin America and help them set up enterprises to provide hands-on training of practical & business skills and to generate extra income in the process. The year 2011 was the inaugural year of the School Enterprise Challenge, run by UK-based international development charity – Teach A Man To Fish.
About 175 business plans were submitted by schools from 37 countries. The students of The Heritage School performed exceptionally well and hence their name was among the top winners in the competition. Their unique and entrepreneurial approach towards creating their School Enterprise caught the judge’s attention even in a highly competitive field.
The Heritage School's enterprise used eco-friendly materials to manufacture decorative and useful candles, like the mosquito repellent candles. In this enterprise the teachers, students and even the bus drivers of the school were involved. Profits generated by the students’ efforts have been re-invested into their school, helping to lower fees and improve the infrastructure. The students of Gymnasium N4 have earned prize winnings of $5000 after being named as the winner in the ‘Planet’ category of the competition.
The school enterprise challenge is a global competition for schools of the developing countries that gives them a chance to establish school-based enterprises. Participating in the competition help the students learn valuable skills, raise additional income for their schools, and create lasting partnerships with schools in other countries.
