The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) unveiled the Women Entrepreneurship Program on 31 July 2024.
This program is designed to address the distinct challenges that women face when starting and growing businesses.
In partnership with Britannia Industries Limited, the initiative will also offer financial grants and feature their products and services on the Skill India Digital Hub, reflecting a strong commitment to fostering an inclusive environment for women entrepreneurs.
Upon completion of these courses, participants will receive a co-branded certificate from NSDC, Britannia Industries and NIESBUD, acknowledging their entrepreneurial skills and competencies.
This initiative aims to empower approximately 25 lakh women across India, providing them with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to start and grow successful businesses.
The initiative will culminate in a grand finale where the top 50 contestants will present their business ideas to a distinguished jury.
To further encourage innovation and excellence, Britannia Industries will award financial grants of 10 lakh rupees each to 10 of the most successful contestants.
