The training program was organized by JKEDI’s Centre for Women Entrepreneurship (CENWENT) and coincided with the ongoing celebrations of International Women’s Day.
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 was to help candidates to be self-reliant and facilitate capacity building.

The scheme is a special initiative of Mission Youth J&K, aimed at providing financial assistance to young women for setting up gainful self-employment ventures suited to their skills, aptitude, and local conditions. It will empower and encourage women to set up income-generating units through manufacturing, services, or trading activities.
