On the 3rd and 4th of September 2024, as part of Development Alternatives' (DA) Women-Led Enterprise (WLE) programme, we brought together visionary organisations such as Transform Rural India, Gram Vaani, MDSS, SVSS India, Haqdarshak, Nidan India, and CREATE, in Lucknow to shape the future of women-led entrepreneurship in Uttar Pradesh. During the two-day "State-Level Design Workshop," we united with a singular mission: to place the ownership of entrepreneurial solutions directly into the hands of women. Together, we developed district-specific plans to drive this transformation in the communities where we operate. This initiative is part of our broader effort to create systemic change through collective action. Stay tuned to follow our journey towards systems change. #WomenLedEnterprise #SocialInnovation #SAMUDYAM #entrepreneurship #enterprise #UttarPradesh Shrashtant Patara Kanika Verma Prema Gera Shambu Prasad Chebrolu Neeraj Ahuja Annu Mehta
