Entrepreneurship in education is born with an innate need to create systems and solutions, build and grow it, creating an impact. India has almost 1.5 million schools, 38,000 colleges, and 760 universities as per Ministry of Human Resource Development, which translates to 1 school per 200 school-goers and 1 college for 3,700 college-goers. The gap in education cannot be solved by the system alone. Entrepreneurship in the education sector is needed to bring in inclusivity, bridge the knowledge gap, and usher in new methods of learning.<\/span><\/p>\n
