  "account": "Lucknow/Greater Noida, September 22, 2026 - The Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh intends for the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS) 2026 to serve as a learning ground for students, providing exposure to startups and global business. As such, students from Gautam Buddha University will actively participate in the event, taking on roles based on their interests and abilities. This initiative aims to move students beyond the classroom and into real-world business, entrepreneurship, and international trade scenarios.\n\nFrom September 25 to 29, students will engage in various tasks such as shuttle operations, scanning, cultural activities, knowledge sessions, information desks, and B2B meetings. They will be part of four volunteer teams, gaining hands-on experience in different aspects of the event. To further their understanding, the government has proposed special activities including the Young Entrepreneur Hunt and a Startup/Founder Zone, where students can interact with entrepreneurs and founders in 15-minute sessions.\n\nA Career Corner will offer insights into internship and live project opportunities, helping students comprehend industry expectations and employment prospects. An International Passport has been arranged to connect student participation with learning activities, requiring students to earn 10 to 15 stamps. Additionally, photo installations and country walls showcasing various countries will serve as attractions for students.\n\nTo boost student involvement, College Expo Ambassadors will be appointed, with 5 to 10 students from each college potentially serving as ambassadors. The Expo Passport, integral to the Learning and Recognition Framework, mandates completion of 8 to 10 discovery tasks and guided themed trails lasting 45 to 60 minutes.

This collaboration between the Yogi government and Gautam Buddha University students aims to create a bridge between trade, investment, and education.",
