He said that the woman has efficiently used an amount of Rs one lakh provided by the Corporation to help her establish a venture, who has even provided employment to two other unemployed women as well in her unit.
He said that women are no less than the men in contributing to the society and even better, as they have to play a dual role in attending to their families along with their public lives and this is particularly more challenging where the women folk are more emotionally attached to their family responsibilities.
