According to a DIPR report, the workshop marks the first workshop under NSEDM exclusively designed to support entrepreneurs in the state.
The workshop was deliberately structured as an intensive and focused programme to ensure deeper engagement and meaningful learning. “NSEDM aims to follow up the workshop with structured mentorship and handholding support for the participants, in collaboration with the resource persons.
“A strategised post-workshop module is being developed by the NSEDM team to enable participants to translate their learning into action and guide them through the foundational stages of their entrepreneurial journey, with the objective of creating tangible and sustainable impact,” the report stated.
Delivering the opening remarks, I Changsang, Under Secretary & Project Manager (I/C), NSEDM, IDAN, emphasised that language and background should not be barriers to entrepreneurship and stressed the importance of moving beyond a salary-dependent mindset.
