Bommai further stated that schemes for women's self-employment will be identified in each gramme panchayat and asked that a Detailed Project Report (DPR) be prepared shortly. He also promised assistance from the Karnataka government in this regard. "With the support of the Government of India, the Department of Skill Development, Entrepreneurship, and Livelihood is already providing self-employment assistance to self-help organisations in Karnataka via the 'Elevate Scheme.' These programmes must now be scaled up and handled at the micro level," Bommai noted.
The chief minister stated that he believes this MoU would make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of women across the state by enabling them to be self-sufficient and contribute to the state's economy.
Meesho is an e-commerce platform based in Bengaluru that allows small businesses and individuals to sell and market their products through social networking platforms. Previously, the company collaborated with Telangana's incubator 'We Hub' to promote women's entrepreneurship in Telangana.
