From bulbs to business: Malappuram school teaches students to earn and save | Onmanorama Specials

At AEMA UP School in Moorkanad, Malappuram, students are discovering the world of entrepreneurship through hands-on learning. From assembling LED bulbs under their own brand, M-Light, to making agarbathis, crocheting, assembling umbrellas and exploring mushroom cultivation, these young learners are turning practical skills into small-scale business ventures. What started as a summer vacation workshop on LED bulb assembly has grown into an initiative that introduces students to the basics of production, branding, pricing, marketing and savings. The products are sold under the school's own brand, and the profits earned are credited to the students as savings. The school is also exploring ways to reach a wider market through WhatsApp Business and potential e-commerce platforms. Watch how this unique initiative is nurturing a spirit of entrepreneurship among school students in Malappuram!
