Special Financial Literacy Workshops for Women/SC/ST Entrepreneurs

This component has been designed to promote financial inclusion by providing specialised financial literacy workshops for women, Scheduled Caste (SC), and Scheduled Tribe (ST) entrepreneurs. Recognising the importance of equitable access to financial knowledge and resources, the initiative focuses on strengthening the financial capabilities of these entrepreneurs through targeted capacity-building programmes tailored to their specific requirements. The workshops will provide guidance on financial management, effective utilisation of credit facilities and investment planning offered by government and institutional agencies. Participants will gain practical knowledge of financial planning and management, enabling them to make informed financial decisions and strengthen the sustainability of their enterprises. By improving financial awareness and strengthening financial management capabilities, the component seeks to promote economic empowerment and encourage greater participation of women, SC, and ST entrepreneurs in enterprise development. Enhanced financial literacy will contribute to improved business sustainability and greater confidence in managing enterprise finances.
