The proposal for schools to implement Content Creator and AVGC lab programs is a progressive step that reflects how deeply digital content

now shapes children’s creative expression. Structured exposure to animation, gaming, and visual storytelling will not only nurture creativity but also build essential skills such as concentration, collaboration, and mindful screen engagement. These are future-ready competencies that will support children throughout their schooling and open pathways to emerging creative careers.
Equally significant is the introduction of Self-Help Entrepreneur (SHE) Marts. By creating community-owned retail outlets run by women entrepreneurs and self-help groups, the Budget places children in an ecosystem where they can see real-world examples of women leading, managing enterprises, and driving change. This provides them with meaningful social and economic role models while reinforcing a strong connection between education, entrepreneurship, and social confidence. Together, these initiatives shape a learning environment that encourages creativity, independence, and aspiration.
