Punjab Expands Business Class Programme After Student Success

The Punjab government is planning to expand its Business Class entrepreneurship programme to all undergraduate courses starting from the 2026-27 academic session.

This decision comes after the programme's successful first year, where over 20,000 student-led ventures generated nearly ₹90 crore in revenue.

The programme, launched under the Sikhya Kranti initiative, is currently compulsory for students pursuing BCom, BBA, BTech, BVoc, and those enrolled in ITIs and polytechnics.

The curriculum focuses on practical entrepreneurship skills, and students have launched ventures in various sectors, including e-commerce, food services, and digital content creation.

The goal is to prepare students to create jobs rather than just seek them.
