Feedback from the Workshop
“I have already acquired two shops on rent to do business. If I had not attended this workshop, I would
have incurred loss. Here I have learnt how to calculate profit, how to do market survey, how to treat the
customers and many more things. I have really benefited from this workshop”
Subedar Irappa N Wali, participant from the Army Workshop
“Many aspects taught by the Trainers were very useful to me. They even told us to be cautious with our
funds. Through the Trade Game we could learn that one can start a small business first and expand it
gradually and also that one can specialize in one type of business and expand it”

Feedback from the Workshop
“In civil life, nobody teaches / shares business intricacies. My own brother, who has been successfully running his
business since many years, had never shared with me the secret of his success. I Create India has taught us, how
to build networking, aspects to be observed in Homework, planning, how to decide the quantum of loan required
to start our business in a layman’s language.” – M.Nageshwara Reddy, participant from army workshop

Highlights
Chitra Jagannath and Sharmila Chari were part of the panel
discussion and networking afternoon around the theme of
Accelerating the Future of Women Entrepreneurship on August
21st, 2019 in Bangalore, India. The convening brought together
partners from policy makers & senior civil society/ foundations,
corporations, entrepreneurs and the media. The program was
organized by GAME (Global Alliance for Mass Entrepreneurship)
Hema Chawla was the chief guest at a event organised by
Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology Management
and Gramothan, Jaipur for their students on empowering
good managers.
Four out of 10 youth who received vocational training are out of the labour force, and a significant chunk of
those in the workforce remain unemployed. About 42% of the youth (15-29 years) who received formal
technical training were not part of the labour force at all according to reports. Among youth who did not receive
such training, 62.3% were out of the labour force. Across age groups, substantial shares of the women who
received such training were out of the labour force.
" If there was ever any urgency for providing entrepreneurship training to the skilled youth, it is now. Skilling
alone will not resolve the issue. Some of the skilled youth need to be job-creators for other skilled youth"
