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 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.
