The Hult Prize, which is grandly conducted at Kathmandu University every year, has also started this year. Students will be able to win $1 million by presenting their entrepreneurial ideas to the judges under the theme ‘Getting the World Back to Work.’
Students in this program will compete in a variety of local and global food, security, energy, health, and other science and technology problems. The team with the best entrepreneurial thinking will be able to give their life to the idea by getting a chance to get their hands on 1 million dollars.
The global Covid-19 wave has had a devastating impact on the employment sector. Many people have lost their jobs. How many people have had to resign from their jobs? When some people look for work again, they find that there are no available positions. As a result, KU has sought a solution to this problem through the Hult Prize this time.
“The Hult Prize is a global network that helps students make an impact in society through entrepreneurial ideas by training them to learn entrepreneurial skills. I encourage everyone to participate.” Rohan M. Shrestha says
Kathmandu University, which hosted the Hult Prize for the first time in Nepal in 2016, has completed six years of successful Hult Prize operations. Rohan M. Shrestha received the Halt Prize, now known as the “Nobel Prize” for students. It is progressing under Shrestha’s leadership. He stated that he has a fantastic organizing committee that is working hard to do something similar to him. He says “The Hult Prize is a global network that helps students make an impact in society through entrepreneurial ideas by training them to learn entrepreneurial skills. I encourage everyone to participate.“
In this program which will be held by KU itself, many groups have already met and the best groups have reached many places in the world with their entrepreneurial thoughts. The program is also working as a medium to connect local and foreign entrepreneurs with students.
