Abstract: Modern times are marked with the unbridled use of chemicals which we hardly take cognizance of! Oblivious of its obvious & subtle presence in our lives, we tend to ignore the devastating impact of the chemicals on the environment. As we cannot afford to turn away from this fact, it’s time to bring this realization to our students that they have ownership towards the well-being of our environment which would invariably bring wellbeing to mankind. To reduce the environmental issues due to the toxic effects of these chemicals, and to encourage the use of natural products, the students of ITL Public School have taken the initiative to prepare Eco-friendly Innovative products free from toxic preservatives (paraben, triclosan, etc.) under the brand name Anthelia, a human story trending on the path of Prosperity of “People” & the “Planet”. Anthelia - a start-up initiative by ITLeens was launched to provide the students with hands-on experiential learning in product development apart from developing marketing strategies and entrepreneurship skills. This initiative assumed an interdisciplinary approach by involving students of all domains of Science, Commerce, and Humanities in the production network. This extraordinary feat with a comprehensive approach was attained by involving a maximum number of students as prospective input providers, irrespective of their age.

Bio-based circular materials. Innovative packaging and construction products

The European Green Deal and the European Climate Law of the European Parliament are the socio-political context in which the construction industry has to engage in order to reduce upfront carbon. This focus puts the role of building materials in a new perspective. By focusing on the development of innovative solutions that specifically address biotic and bio-based materials, the Cradle-to-Cradle approach values biobased materials and gives them a key role in the transition to the circular economy. The paper presents an innovative material, the complex outcome of two different research projects conducted by the ZEBtwdZEEB Group of the ‘L. Vanvitelli’ University of Campania in collaboration with the innovative start-up Service Biotech Srl, winner of the BioInItaly Investment Forum 2021 & Intesa Sanpaolo Start-Up Initiative for the Circular Bioeconomy sector.

Partnerships, Action, and Collaboration, Together (PACT): A Community-Based Partnership Where Innovation, Collaboration, and Impact Reshape Stakeholders’ Vision

Project PACT (Partnerships, Action, & Collaboration, Together) (a pseudonym) is a multi-stakeholder partnership that reflects multiple goals, commitments, and priorities for early childhood education. PACT was informed by the literature on community-based research (CBR) and a commitment by partners to strengthen P–3 education where stakeholder assets contributed to reciprocal learning experiences in early childhood education. PACT stakeholders transformed two early childhood education classrooms into Montessori classrooms within a district public school. As one in a series of investigations, this research specifically examined partner commitments to a unique collaboration, the emergence of roles and responsibilities over time, and manifestations of innovation within a traditional public school setting. Data illustrate how stakeholders established a collaboration that allowed for flexibility, perspective-taking, and the opportunity to work together to reconsider and strengthen P–3 education through a model typically reserved for children of affluence. Beyond the operational demands of a startup initiative, findings also reflect the power of a collective through flexibility and a stance that values the assets of a community. The impact of this work demonstrates the potential to successfully impact quality education in early childhood settings through equity and opportunity.

Promoting Agri Business Start-ups through Integrated Entrepreneurship Development Approach in Maharashtra: “Mantra” for Start-ups Every Year in Each Indian State

The entrepreneurship development approach in the agri business sector summarised in this paper presents an “ideal” approach towards selection of potential start-up candidates, their training, capacity building and guidance over preparation of a bankable business plan as well as on 1 subsequent monitoring . Other than tracing the approach and methodology of the intervention, this paper also presents case studies on successful start-ups facilitated using a related intervention frame-work in Maharashtra reflecting the rationale for start-up, entrepreneur profile, basic project parameters and demand conditions vis-a-vis the project. The cases considered present a mix in terms of entrepreneurs who have received a preliminary “Letter of Intent” (LoI) from financial institutions (virtually an in-principle sanction of loan facility), to those who also have recently been sanctioned loans as well as those who have commenced operations sustainably. This mix provides a flavour of diverse circumstances in these important stages of an enterprise start-up. The cases cover entrepreneurship in the agri business sector. Apparently,the agro and food processing industry has experienced consistent growth in demand over the last five years till 2016, as economies across the globe continued to consume processed fruits, vegetable and other food products in ever growing degree with ever increasing consumer spend. Notably, demand for processed food products has grown faster in the developing economies as industrial and economic growth has translated into greater levels of urbanisation, higher per capita incomes and expansion in the size of the middle-class. As the global “middle-class” segment has grown, it demands larger quantities of higher quality and more-diverse processed food. Despite the potential, the agro and food processing or agri business sector confronts a scenario of inadequate investment in post-harvest facilities, primary as well as secondary processing leading to losses ranging from 5 to30 per cent in different sub-sectors of the sector which is virtually a national loss. There is apparently a need for dedicated entrepreneurship development and start-up focused interventions to link entrepreneurs with sector potential for valueaddition as well as employment generation. Notably, interventions along these lines are presently being undertaken successfully under the World Bank assisted Maharashtra Agricultural Competitiveness Project (MACP) by the Agri Business Promotion Facility (ABPF) operated by the Grant Thornton India LLP. About 660 start-ups are being catalysed and incubated to provide employment to at least 6,000 persons directly and indirectly. The start-ups are largely agro processing enterprises typically with investment in terms of project cost ranging from 15 lakh to 40 lakh. A few have also entailed investment of over 1 crore.In addition, over 240 Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) start-ups are also being facilitated. The 900 to 1000 plus start-ups are being facilitated within a period of barely one year. This paper presents case illustrations of a few successful interventions catalysed in this perhaps very significant intervention in the developing world. Essentially, the paper validates an intervention approach that could efficiently complement the start-up initiative of the Government of India. It could also serve as a model for replication by related practitioners and institutions across the globe.
