Mohali, June 29, 2026:-Demonstrating its commitment towards social development and women empowerment, the Rotaract Club of Gian Jyoti Institute of Management and Technology, Phase II, Mohali, organised a special awareness session on the institute campus for women belonging to economically weaker sections of society.

The programme, titled “Basics of Entrepreneurship Finance: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs,” aimed to enhance financial literacy among women and encourage them to explore self-employment opportunities. The initiative focused on equipping participants with the knowledge and confidence required to become financially independent.

To make the session engaging, practical and impactful, several interactive and hands-on activities were conducted. Participants were taught how everyday household budgeting skills could be transformed into effective financial management for small businesses such as tailoring, embroidery, pickle-making and handicrafts.

Women were divided into small groups for a live demonstration on microfinance, where they learned about community-based savings, fund mobilisation and the effective utilisation of financial resources. Through role-play activities conducted by faculty members and students, participants were also introduced to various government subsidy schemes, financial assistance programmes and loan facilities available for women entrepreneurs.

The participants displayed great enthusiasm throughout the session and gained valuable insights into financial planning, profit generation, business management and self-employment opportunities.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Aneet Bedi, Director, GJIMT said that women's economic empowerment is essential for building an inclusive and progressive society. He emphasised that creating awareness about entrepreneurship finance and government support mechanisms would enable women to become financially independent and contribute meaningfully to socio-economic development.

At the conclusion of the programme, the participants appreciated the institute's initiative and expressed renewed confidence and determination to pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations and build a self-reliant future.
