Women Entrepreneurship Development

The strategy and approach for Women Entrepreneurship is a challenging development process and thus I adopted a systematic approach of identifying and selecting the capable rural women, developing and educating them and then providing follow-up support to enable these women to initiate their micro enterprises and income generation activities. The training modules are designed such that 80% to 85% of them start their own businesses and further employ others at the village level. The aim is to promote special progress, better standard of life and larger freedom for women. This process has not only led to self employment but has also enhanced the social and economic status of women. This successful and sustainable model has provided social security to women in terms of regular income, purchasing capacity and independence. It developed into a Women Entrepreneurship Development Programme (WEDP).

Post her marriage she started helping her husband in his catering business. Rameela always wanted to start her own business to be financially independent but due to money constraints & lack of knowledge, she could not make a start. Rameela was looking for an opportunity. In the meanwhile she heard about ICECD ’s EDP training program. In the initial Rameela took some time to adapt to the training program.
