SWAVALAMBAN e-SUMMIT (16 Aug 2020)
This Independence Day, let's empower the journey of self-reliance
for thousands of reverse migrants, unemployed
and under-employed reeling under COVID-19 crisis.
Swavalamban e-Summit is our bold attempt to foster dialogue, deliberations, discourses and deep-dive sessions with a singular goal of transforming micro-enterprise aspirants into empowered entrepreneurs. The SUMMIT shall bring together 12000+ well-equipped new-enterprise aspirants, 10000+ NGOs (working in the space of livelihood development and promotion), 200+ SAARTHIs (who have enabled these aspirants with business planning), Managing Directors of select large banks, 50+ senior bankers, CSR leaders and other dignitaries with interest and history in livelihoods and entrepreneurship promotion.
The central theme of the summit is to explore convergence and bring together varied stakeholders to encourage action-oriented dialogue for boosting self-employment and rapid nano/micro-entrepreneurship in tier-2/3/4/rural parts of India.
