| Dr. Mamta Fomra is honoured with a memento |
The Women’s Studies Centre of Thiagarajar College organised an awareness lecture on the title “Women Entrepreneurship: Conquering Challenges” on 28.07.2022 from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm. The resource person, Dr. Mamta Fomra, City President of Women’s Indian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (WICCI), Madurai Council, gave an inspirational talk on the avenues open for the students to explore their potential for entrepreneurship. She motivated them to hone their skill sets by impelling them to take a leap of faith into the realm of entrepreneurship. She highlighted the challenges that she faced as a woman and as an entrepreneur who chose an offbeat path in a traditional society. She also insisted on the significance of marketing and connectivity in this era of social media. Her noble words on women helping out women and building a sisterhood to thrive as an entrepreneur were noteworthy. Around 176 female students from the departments of B.B.A., Commerce, Mathematics and English benefitted from this vital awareness lecture. In the interactive session, the vibrant audience enquired about the prospects available for them as entrepreneurs. The students found the session very engaging and were happy with the speaker’s counsel for them to grab their space (opportunities) like an octopus and dare to do things differently with authenticity.
In her welcome address, the Director, Dr. V. Subathra Devi, pointed out that entrepreneurship is a prime tool in bridging the gender gap. She expressed her concern over the fact that only 20% of Indian entrepreneurs were women and motivated the students to become employers who would give career opportunities to others. The Member Secretary, Dr. R. Aruna, introduced the chief guest. Dr. Angeline Chella Rajathi, Assistant Coordinator, WSC, delivered the formal vote of thanks.
