@sajithpai In the south, the price per cloth ranges from Rs. 9 to 12, in the north we have seen it is about 6 to 8. The pricing Has nothing to do with whether they are using coal or lpg boxes.
@sajithpai I'm the co founder of Udhyam, the organization you have quoted in the main post. Our observation has been very similar as yours. For the Istri project We have so far directly operated in Bangalore, Chennai, jaipur, NCR, Kanpur, Lucknow.

@jyothirmayee For many, us being dependable is a large factor for them to be able to trust us. In those cases, trust becomes closer to sufficient. [ Google for ABCD of trust ].
@BJP4India I found this useful and informative and am in agreement with most points. At the same time, it would have been good to see them take ownership that kumbh and ejection rallies were mistakes that could have been avoided, instead of saying others did the same.
@_mekin Looks awesome. My follow up questions to these responses.
1- assuming that awareness was the first step for many of these people, are there any options here that we expect a vast majority of Indian youth would have awareness about. (Awareness= have atleast heard about it)
@_mekin I am hoping that given India's past disease record, Indians would have stronger immune systems (unsure if there is evidence to support this) and that along with social distancing measures should help.
#Bangalore: 200+ ironwalas have seen an income uplift of 25% by making a shift from coal-based iron boxes to #ecofriendly LPG iron boxes! Kudos to #UdhyamVyapaar for unleashing the spirits of these #Entrepreneurs to grow and succeed!

As we rewind back into 2.5+ years of existence of Udhyam Shiksha, this thread (& comments) capture the variety of businesses that students have tried. The first few comments on this thread mention a more extensive list of the kind of businesses that kids have tried.
We at @UdhyamOrg work with students from adverse backgrounds in India - them trying entrepreneurial projects.
Food businesses are the most popular: Lemonade, Fresh Fruit, ‘Chaats’, Sprouts
Handmade/trade of jewellery, fashion accessories, mobile accessories is next.
