Call for women’s empowerment

NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Friday exhorted women entrepreneurs to contribute to the economic and social empowerment of women by absorbing in their ventures girls who have received formal education under various schemes of the State Government.

Inaugurating the 24th annual session of the FICCI Ladies’ Organisation, Ms. Dikshit said: “If the corporate houses of the FLO members train young girls in various trades and link them to jobs, we could make a big contribution towards empowering women at work.”
