Women are considered the symbol of change. Women, in the present day, have been recognized as a significant part of the stable economy. Women are 48% of the Indian population, but their participation in economic development is still below par as only 34% of Indian women are engaged in financial and economic activities. Many of which are either unpaid or underpaid. With gender-bias problems in some regions of India, women have also become victims of unemployment.
The main focus of this program is to empower women by creating awareness about the business environment and nurturing their growth, which eventually ends up in the family and societal welfare.
Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company Limited, in association with ICT Academy, has launched 'Rural Women Self Employment Transformation Program' for women in the age group of 18 - 50 years in the rural and backward districts categorized into Class A, B, and C cities across India.
