Appreciating the role played by women-owned startups in Tamil Nadu, Hon’ble Minister for Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Kayalvizhi Selvaraj said that the state government has stepped up efforts to help grassroot entrepreneurs generate employment in towns and villages, even as she stressed on the need to embrace digital initiatives to bring banks, mentors, entrepreneurs, and Women’s Self Help Groups onto one seamless platform. Speaking at a conference titled “PENN SHAKTI – Celebrating Women Grampreneurs®”, she appreciated the role played by socio-economic mentoring organisations like Bharatiya Yuva Shakti Trust (BYST), which has reached out to two lakh youths in Tamil Nadu and created 2300 successful entrepreneurs who are providing employment to thousands of workers and contributing to the state exchequer.
