Loans to women for starting employment ventures have touched a record high, Minister for Women and Child Development Veena George has said.
She was speaking after inaugurating a mega entrepreneur meet organised by the Kerala State Women’s Development Corporation (KSWDC) and distributing loans to them here on Tuesday.
The Minister said the KSWDC had made huge progress in recent times. In the first year after the current Left Democratic Front government came to power, the KSWDC had given away the maximum amount of annual loan in its history— ₹165.05 crore to 11,866 people.
