On the successful completion of the academic modules and the project work, the ‘Diploma in Women Entrepreneurship’ will be awarded. Speaking about the initiative, Prof. Chandrasekhar said, “The key objectives are to foster entrepreneurship and the spirit of creativity and innovation. It will provide the participants with the essential knowledge and skills required for an entrepreneurial journey from idea-generation to idea-implementation.”
