GUWAHATI: In a significant move to boost the entrepreneurial spirit among women, the Assam government has announced the disbursement of seed capital amounting to Rs. 10,000 for approximately 27 lakh women entrepreneurs across the state.
This initiative, known as the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan, is set to commence today and aims to invigorate the rural economy by providing essential financial support to aspiring female business owners.
The programme aims to empower women to get into various sectors of entrepreneurship to make them self-sufficient and financially independent. The government stressed that it is not a mere slogan, but is a direction towards the mission of gender equality and women empowerment in the region.
The authorities have indicated that the seed capital will serve as a huge stepping stone for women who seek to establish or expand their enterprises, enabling them to contribute greatly to the economy of Assam. The program is expected to have a trickle-down effect, triggering employment creation and overall economic development of Assam.
While the process of disbursement will be executed, the government hopes that this step will find a positive impact on the lives of rural women and ultimately add to a stronger and more equitable economic model. The Mukhya Mantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyan reflects the commitment of the Assam government towards entrepreneurship development among women and promoting sustainable development.
