The EDP was attended by female candidates from across the Jammu district and they will undergo a training program with a focus on self-development, basic business skills, business and marketing plan formulation, account management, sector-specific technical inputs, and will be appraised of all the formalities involved in setting up an enterprise. The aim of the program is to help candidates to be self-reliant and facilitate capacity building.
Director JKEDI congratulated the women present at the programme and said that there is a lot to celebrate about women’s achievements. He added that there is much more to do in that direction and we need to embrace equality and build a better world for women. “I want each and every candidate present here to focus on innovation and adopt the latest technology. One should undertake a thorough market survey before choosing an activity so that their business venture turns successful. It is imperative to take advantage of various Government initiatives meant for setting up an enterprise,” said Director, JKEDI.
Under the leadership of Lt. Governor, Manoj Sinha, the Government is committed to creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship and self-employment. Single window system for new businesses is one such step towards ease of doing business, he added.
