Women-Venturing Against All Odds

Women empowerment does not mean that separate silos need to be created for women. They need to be provided space to grow within the existing facilities. A case in point was the unwise creation of Bharatiya Mahila Bank (BMB) which had to be closed down eventually. Capacity Building regarding entrepreneurial skills, reviews of the effectiveness of such programmes and feedback from struggling women entrepreneurs will help. Also showcasing of successful stories of women entrepreneurs will help.
