Dr. Tanushri Purohit, Associate Professor and Head of Amity Skills Institute; Dr. Luxita Sharma, Associate Professor and Head of Amity Medical School; and Dr. Subhra Das, Professor and Head of Solar Department coordinated closely to ensure the event's success. The programme was held at Haryana's Anganwadi Sabras Village. The session was attended by around twenty-five ladies from the village, as well as the Sarpanch's wife 

Inclusive growth in India is conceivable if women, particularly in rural areas, are liberated. Women in rural regions desire to gain fundamental skills and competences in order to start modest, self-sustaining companies. They are hoping for assistance with company creation, expertise and skills for administering a nano or micro enterprise, access to capital, and economic integration. Amity Skills Institute and Yunus Social Business Centre at Amity University Haryana intend to establish a network of mentors within the AUH fraternity to assist women in starting and growing small businesses to become self-sustaining pillars in their communities

Women empowerment workshops for rural women's development, health-related seminars for rural women, and a session on solar product information are among the future goals for the empowerment programme. The aspiration to be self-sufficient SHG (Self Help Group) formation in the village, e xploring numerous business prospects such as pickle making, papad production, dairy products, garment stitching, pillow coverings, bedsheets, meal delivery, solar panel installation, Gobar gas plants, and so on were s ome of the important discussion themes in the workshop. In addition other discussions were banks and other finance routes, as well as training in the fields of stitching and manufacturing nutritious packaged foods.

The women in the group expressed an overwhelming urge to become financially independent and establish their own businesses from home. They were invited to provide input on the kind of training they would require through Anganwadi so that the following steps could be arranged.
