Economic independence will help women in empowering themselves socially and politically, he said.

Mr. Alagawadi felt that universities should have an entrepreneurship cell to train students and women to become entrepreneurs.

He also listed several organisations that can be approached by women interested in taking up self-employment.

Jayashri, Director of the centre, welcomed the gathering.
