A parent would love for his kid to start a company. But just thinking like an entrepreneur and wishing for the best won’t help you do it. You have to build a different set of habits, like spotting a problem, building a solution, and presenting it with confidence.

RIS Mehsana builds business thinking the way a strong CBSE school should: by weaving it through subjects, activities, and events across the curriculum.

Here’s what that actually looks like on the ground.

Business Studies and Economics in the Classroom

At the senior secondary level, RIS Mehsana offers Business Studies and Economics as core subjects. They are taught by dedicated PGT-level faculty. They’re part of the regular academic stream for students who choose the Commerce path.

Through these subjects, students engage directly with concepts central to entrepreneurship: how businesses are organised, how markets function, how resources are allocated, how financial decisions get made, etc. It’s the same foundation any founder eventually needs.

Work Education: Learning the Value of Labour

Under its Life Skills petal, RIS Mehsana runs Work Education activities designed to impart the “dignity of labour.” These activities give students hands-on exposure to practical work and effort. This helps them understand and respect the work that goes into building and running something. It’s a lesson every entrepreneur eventually learns firsthand.

This is paired with Logic and Reasoning, introduced as a subject from the primary level. Verbal reasoning, quantitative ability, and data interpretation build the analytical thinking that helps make right business decisions. 

Edubition: Where Ideas Become Models

Each year, RIS Mehsana hosts Edubition, a school-wide exhibition where students design and present original models around a chosen theme. In one edition, students built and presented models across all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, complete with charts, acts, and demonstrations explaining their thinking to visiting guests.

Edubition demands the skills that any young entrepreneur needs: identifying a real-world problem, designing a solution, and pitching it clearly to an audience, in this case, special guests and visitors who toured the exhibits.

Group Discussions and Public Speaking

Business thinking isn’t only about numbers. It’s also about the ability to communicate an idea persuasively. RIS Mehsana’s Life Skills programme includes structured group discussions and public speaking practice.

These are the same skills a student will eventually need to pitch an idea, negotiate a deal, or lead a team.

How Does This Prepare Students for Future Careers?

Business Studies, Economics, Work Education, Logic and Reasoning, Edubition, and communication-focused Life Skills activities build a foundation that transfers directly into business and entrepreneurial thinking. It is helpful for a student who eventually starts a company, joins a family business, or simply needs sound financial judgment as an adult.

Conclusion

Between structured coursework, hands-on Work Education, and exhibitions like Edubition, students of RIS Mehsana are consistently exposed to the thinking, reasoning, and communication skills that entrepreneurship actually demands.
