  • Creation of backward & forward linkages by creating a supply chain for providing raw material to women entrepreneurs with the help of apex/state level organizations.
  • Ensuring marketing of products made by such self employed women through the network of primary societies as well as the apex/ state organizations like WEAVCO, MARKFED & MILKFED.
  • Seeking and taking assistance, grants, subsidies from state and central organizations like KVIC, KVIB as well as Mahila Kosh etc.

Assistance:

  • Financial Assistance/Loans
  • Recovery and marketing of products prepared by Women members
