Entrepreneurs usually require financial assistance of some kind to launch their ventures \u2013 be it a formal bank loan or money from a savings account. Women in developing nations have little access to funds, due to the fact that they are concentrated in poor rural communities with few opportunities to borrow money. Women entrepreneurs suffer from inadequate financial resources and working capital compounded with lack of access to external funds due to their inability to provide tangible security. Very few women have the tangible property in hand.<\/p>\n

Therefore, to provide a boost to aspiring women entrepreneurs and as part of the economic empowerment process for women in the State, the Department is implementing a scheme called\u00a0\u201cPromotion of Women in Innovative Enterprises Programme\u201d<\/em>. This scheme targets women entrepreneurs who are involved in innovative and novel enterprises and are in need of funding to develop and expand their trades. A major objective of the scheme would be not just to further the economic position of the beneficiaries but also to set them as role models for other women to emulate.<\/p>\n

Under this scheme, interest-free loan up to Rs. 5.00 lakh is being extended to innovative women entrepreneurs through the Directorate of Women Resource Development after due screening by the Directorate and final selection by the Department Selection Committee.<\/p>\n
