Abstract:
There was a time when everyone in our country was an entrepreneur. This skill was slowly taken away from
us. Our country lived under the shadows of various foreign rulers and each came with his own way of ruling.
One major result of living under the dreaded shadows as slaves for centuries was forgetting our skills and one
of it was entrepreneurship. Today the world and India is taking all efforts for entrepreneurship development.
Entrepreneurship Education is an integral and essential component of entrepreneurship development. We
need to relearn which we unlearned some centuries back. Education is an element of social ecosystem. Our
mind has been cultured to see the outcome of education as a job. A person gets affected and moulded by the
ecosystem he/she lives in. India needs to work on its social ecosystem for developing the entrepreneurs. This
study has taken into account responses from children in the age group of 3 to 8 years about their career
preferences in future. These children are researcher’s friends and cousins’ children. The study tries to
understand about their social ecosystem and how this is developing their mind set unconsciously. We need
not force entrepreneurship but now it is time to create and develop a social environment where students can
understand and learn about entrepreneurship and count it as one of the career options.
