Empowering Women Through Entrepreneurship Programme by MyGov [6 Weeks]: Register by Mar 10 [Extended]

 Registrations are open for 6 Weeks Empowering Women Through Entrepreneurship Programme by MyGov. The last date of registration is 10 March.

About the Programme

The National Commission for Women is the apex statutory organization working towards enabling women to achieve equality and equal participation in all spheres of life. Acknowledging that economic independence is the key to women empowerment, NCW aims to create a lasting impact for women across the country by providing women entrepreneurs access to knowledge and skills required to grow and sustain their entrepreneurial ventures.

To this end, National Commission for Women has joined hands with Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, a renowned academic institution fostering excellence in management, innovation and entrepreneurship, and has envisioned a collaborative online training programme in Hindi to support and sponsor digital learning of aspiring women entrepreneurs.

Selected participants will also get a special chance to be mentored and incubated by our knowledge and mentoring partner, the India SME Forum, India’s largest not-for-profit organization for small & medium enterprises, post successful completion of the course.

The programme previously delivered in English has seen more than 1800 women successfully complete the course. The programme has now been re-conceptualized in Hindi to promote linguistic diversity, improve rate of participation, enhance learning outcomes and expand regional reach.

About the Course

This is a hands-on, action-oriented business and management course that introduces participants to a systematic, scientific and an easy process of testing your ideas and opportunities. Selected participants will learn the “Do your Venture” ideology, which will teach them common paths entrepreneurs take when launching their own venture. They will also learn the tools and techniques for generating ideas and then test their ideas in the field and gather feedback.

The Course will be sponsored by the National Commission for Women for all selected participants and will be delivered by IIMB. The Course is designed to enable aspiring women entrepreneurs to capitalize on this opportunity and learn from eminent faculty of IIMB. The course can be attended from any location at any convenient time. During the course, participants will also be encouraged to leverage on the peer network through discussion forum and other online tools at their disposal.
