“97 EAPs have been conducted across the country. I am happy that the response
from women has been highly positive. It just shows how a little training support and
handholding can give them the confidence to live their dreams. I am sure this
initiative will show results with an appreciable number of new enterprises getting
set up. EDII & NCW will continue being committed to this cause.”

- Smt. Rekha Sharma, Chairperson, NCW

“Women are an important segment that EDII is especially focussing on. EDII is
ensuring entrepreneurial success for women, across the country. The Institute's
commitment to ensuring growth and economic security for women seeks to set
them on a transformative journey. The results that we are witnessing are truly
encouraging.”
- Dr. Sunil Shukla, Director General, EDII

“The Indian state and the central governments are promoting women
entrepreneurship in a big way. While there is a strong knowledge, policy and support
infrastructure for an innovative, start-up oriented India to flourish, focus on
promoting women-led businesses and startups is particularly sharp. I compliment is
thoughtful initiative by NCW and EDII.”
- Mr. Subhransu Acharya, Chief General Manager, SIDBI

“Economic and social security is important for women. The entire concept was
envisaged with this idea. It is heartening to see the goal taking shape with women
stepping forth with their business ideas and a comprehensive enterprise setting up
plan.”
- Ms. Meenakshi Negi, Member Secretary, NCW

The Programme concluded with a session on business opportunity identification by
Project Coordinator, Dr. Baishali Mitra, which imparted learning to the participants
on identifying and seizing entrepreneurial opportunities. The programme served as
a beacon of inspiration and empowerment for women aspiring to venture into the
entrepreneurial landscape, equipping them with the necessary knowledge,
resources, and confidence to embark on their entrepreneurial journey.
