Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa - The Hindu×
Karnataka CM Yediyurappa assures support to women entrepreneurs Karnataka is ready to provide support to women-owned micro-businesses. Speaking after the launching ‘Xcelerator Bangalore (XB), a curated six-month accelerator programme, for supporting and scaling women-owned micro-businesses, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa assured all support to women entrepreneurs. He promised that the State Government would deliberate on supporting women entrepreneurs in district-level too, in order to empower them.
Referring to the State Budget, which he presented on Monday, the Chief Minister said he has granted ₹37,188 crore for women-centric programmes. Likewise, the government is also encouraging small scale/micro entrepreneurs, working women, employees, rural self-help groups, through various initiatives including the prominent Elevate Women programme.
Traditionally, within the African society, the roles of women were limited primarily to the kitchen and childbearing. Beside these, other socio-cultural norms denied women their right to education, economic opportunities and active political participation.
However, research has shown that no nation can progress without a conscious effort to educate and actively involve women in decision-making. The active participation of women in every social aspect is not about competition as it is about complementing and fulfilling life.
As we celebrate this year’s International Women s Day under the theme “Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a Covid-19 World”, we need to answer the question on women’s progress in ensuring an equal future as the world battles with the novel coronavirus pandemic.
