NEW DELHI: To promote entrepreneurship among women, the Delhi government on Monday entered into an agreement with the Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University to provide the state of the art training. An agreement was signed by the director of the Women and Child Development Department (WCD) and the Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DSEU) registrar, in the presence of WCD minister Kailash Gahlot.

“This MoU is helping to launch an era of women entrepreneurs through skilling and giving them a platform to innovate their own livelihood ideas,” Gahlot said. He said that this journey is not just to empower women by providing them opportunities, but also to educate them to empower themselves and generations to come. “I am hopeful for impressive outcomes that will result from this partnership. The Delhi government is highly focused on creating employment, which was heavily reflected in our Rozgar Budget this year too,” Gahlot said.
