Enactus India National Championship 2015
Hyderabad: After gruelling competition before an eminent panel of judges from across the corporate world, IIT Delhi emerged as the deserving winner of the 11th Enactus India National Championship. Ramjas College, Delhi was the first runner-up and Hansraj College, Delhi was the second runner up beating 57 student entrepreneurship projects for community outreach from the Enactus India college network of over 90 colleges and 3000 students who participated in the Enactus India National Competition from July 21- 22, 2015. The winning team from IIT Delhi will present its project at the prestigious Enactus World Cup 2015 which will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa in October this year.
IIT Delhi’s winning project was Excelsior INDIA. As a part of the initiative, the team’s entrepreneurs collect waste papers from urban areas, recycle that and convert the waste paper into recycled paper notebooks of very fine quality. They have also come up with a unique design for a bag-cum-desk, completely made out of cardboard which can serve both as a bag to carry one’s belongings and a desk to write upon.
They plan to distribute the bags among children from underprivileged sections of society along with a complete package of stationery items. The stationary package would include the bag-cum-desk, recycled notebooks, four pencils and an eraser. This package will be sold to the students at a very affordable rate of Rs 30. The entire share of the profit will be given to entrepreneurs.
