The programme was aimed at fostering entrepreneurial competencies among women by providing them with comprehensive exposure to various aspects of enterprise creation and management. During the training, participants were sensitised on business opportunity identification, the preparation of business plans, financial management, marketing strategies, digital tools and the support ecosystem available for emerging entrepreneurs.
As part of the programme, the participants also undertook a one-day industrial visit to gain practical exposure to enterprise operations and business management practices. In addition, individual and group market surveys were conducted to enable the trainees to assess market demand, understand consumer behaviour, identify business opportunities and develop a realistic understanding of local market dynamics.
Addressing the participants, Superintendent (Women ITI Jammu) Er Rajesh Gupta congratulated the trainees on successfully completing the programme and emphasised the growing role of women in driving economic development through entrepreneurship. He encouraged the participants to leverage the knowledge and skills acquired during the training to establish sustainable enterprises and contribute to socio-economic growth.
