                              “Entrepreneurship is certainly getting focussed at different levels, and the results
                             that are emerging are truly satisfying. I personally advocate focus on women
                             entrepreneurship, life skills and experiential learning for this domain to become
                           all-pervasive. A supportive entrepreneurial environment must also emphasize on
                        dedicated Advisory Services Centres to address roadblocks in small businesses; impart
                guidance on relevant technology adoption and over - arching market support. I am glad we have
                institutions  like  EDII  that  are  complementing  efforts  through  training,  incubation,  capacity
                building and handholding. My compliments to EDII.”
