“Feminism isn’t about making women strong. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.” G.D. Anderson
“Women Entrepreneur” is the term attributed to that section of the female population which ventures out into industrial and the economic activities. Women entrepreneurs may be defined as the women who initiate, organize and operate a business enterprise.
In order to celebrate Women’s Empowerment, Women Cell of School of Liberal Arts, Uttaranchal University organized a Student’s e-Seminar, entitled “Women Entrepreneurship: An Approach towards Women Empowerment” on 25th May, 2021. The event was conceptualized by Prof. (Dr.) Shriya Goyal and was coordinated by Dr. Reeta Rautela along with student coordinators.
