SHILLONG, APR 8: Chief Minister Mukul M Sangma on Friday attended the 32nd Annual Session of FICCI Ladies Organization (FLO) at New Delhi. The meeting was also attended by Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
Gracing the meeting as the chief guest, Sangma said that organizations such as the FICCI (FLO) provides a platform for policy makers to further expand the possibilities of networking and integrate various policies that bring transformative changes especially in the lives of women. Stating that empowerment of women must start from home as children usually draw inspiration from the mother, he stressed on the need to sensitize women to participate effectively in the programmes of the government.
Sangma also added that promoting woman entrepreneurship is crucial in the fight against poverty and felt for the need to have access to financial resources, a legal framework of non-discriminatory regime and a woman friendly economic system for women entrepreneurs. “Women entrepreneurs when successful act as a change maker in their families and society and inspire others to become self-reliant.”
FICCI (FLO) is the women wing of Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FICCI). An all India forum for women, FLO has headquarters in New Delhi and 13 chapters are set-up across India, representing over 3900 women entrepreneurs and professionals.
With over 32 years of experience, FLO has been promoting entrepreneurship and professional excellence in women through various workshops, seminars, conferences, talks, training and capacity building programmes with the objective to encourage and facilitate inclusion of women’s talents, skills, experience and energies across all sectors and levels of economic activity.- By Our Reporter
