Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao on Friday laid the foundation for a Women Entrepreneurs International Trade and Technology Centre (WE ITTC), the first of its kind marketing hub in the country sanctioned to the Association of Lady Entrepreneurs of India (ALEAP).
Speaking at a function organised in the city, for the facility that would be established at A-GRIP, Nandigama in Patancheru mandal, the Minister said there had never been a better time to be an entrepreneur in India with the governments, at the Centre and in the States, acknowledging the contribution of entrepreneurs as well as enabling the process of entrepreneurship.
Mr. Rao said given their strengths, women entrepreneurs should aim higher and “give men a run for their money”. The Telangana government had established three parks for women entrepreneurs and if required was willing to set up more such, he said, underscoring the need for organisations such as ALEAP to help promote women entrepreneurship in rural areas too.
