Summary:

Students have been asked to bring clean clothes which are not too worn-out. We are taking this exercise as a training system to grow an entrepreneurial spirit among the college students so that they can build their own start-ups. Secondly, by going through the exercise of dry-cleaning their clothes and then putting them up for sale, they would learn to run their own enterprise.
