VD's Mela

VD's Mela is an inspiring and vibrant event hosted by Vidhyadaan Foundation, designed to ignite entrepreneurial spirit and creativity among our students. Held over two days at a large party plot, this event showcases the innovative products crafted by students during our summer camp. Each art piece, from stoles and decorated wine bottles to chocolate baskets, robo cars, soft toys, paper covers, origami art, and paper jewelry, is priced and marketed by the students themselves, giving them a hands-on experience in small business management.

With multiple stalls set up across the beautifully decorated venue, the mela provides a platform for students to engage in the entire business cycle—from product creation and pricing to marketing and sales. This activity not only fosters creativity but also teaches valuable business skills.

The event is a visual and cultural feast, featuring a live band performance each evening and attracting over 700 guests, including coverage from prominent newspapers and news channels. The proceeds from the mela are distributed among the participating students, enabling many to pay their own fees with their earnings. This unique event not only celebrates their hard work but also empowers them with the skills and confidence to pursue entrepreneurial ventures in the future.
