Dr. K. U. Pavitra Krishna, Head, Food Science & Processing Management introduced the Chief Guest, Mrs. C. Meena, Freelance Trainer – Soft skills& Communicative English, Madurai. The event endeavored to develop entrepreneurial mindset among women to set up their own enterprises. The event focused on the required skills and competencies of business among perspective and active women entrepreneurs. She also stressed that, there are increasingly more policies supporting female entrepreneurship at regional, national and local levels, women’s entrepreneurship and business creativity remain an untapped resource for jobs and economic growth. A number of challenges, from difficult reconciliation of business and family, limited access to business networks, lack of funding opportunities, and mentorship, make entrepreneurship for women less attractive and often too far to reach. The seminar offered a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas on effective policies that would help to empower and support female entrepreneurship.
