Entrepreneurship news:

As Washington Irving in `The Sketch Book’ says ` There is in every true woman’s heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.’ True a man’s education brings out only the best in him, but a Woman’s education awakens the society. Similarly women entrepreneurship is the need of the hour. Their aptitude to create strategy and execution in adversities should be well encouraged for the development of the nation.

India and US are to emphasize on this vital issue while meeting at the third Indo-US Strategic Dialogue in the second half of this month at Washington. Much is to take place at the summit. True to the statement uttered by Judy R. Reinke, minister counselor for commercial affairs at the US embassy in India, `We have to look at fostering a legion of women entrepreneurs, who can make significant qualitative changes in the economic landscapes of both the countries’. The two weeks summit would discuss at length, ways and means for women empowerment and economic emancipation.

Reinke was glad to say that 40 percent of the businesses are run by women, contributing over USD 4 trillion to the total quantum of businesses generated in the country. “We expect women’s share in total businesses to increase in the near future and by triggering a continuous dialogue between our two countries, we can benefit from each other’s experiences,” she added.

Women need to take an active part in the nation building and if we could achieve this objective, our hands to toil will double. Women entrepreneurship is an initiative to achieve progress as a whole. Way2World wishes the leaders of both the nations a grand success in their endeavor.
