KVKV SCHOOL CANTEEN

How We began

We were very much excited when our teacher Ms. Bhavna Rathod and principal Ms Sonal Shah gave us an orientation session about the British Council's School Enterprise Challenge-2012 programme. The title TEACH A MAN TO FISH itself was very catchy and ispriting. All of us were asked to prepare our business plans in a group of 8 to 16 girls.

We, being studnets of FOOD PROCESSING in vocational Home Science Course decided to plan out to do something related with food. We planned to run a school canteen and prepared our business plan.

We were elcted when our business plan was selected by the committee. Our Head Teacher Ms Sonal Shah invited us for a meeting and gave us valuable suggestions to modify our business plan.
