It has been almost two years that Indian institute of Management Udaipur (IIMU) has started operations in Udaipur. And right from the beginning it has been part of the vision that IIMU should make a difference to the region. The initiation of the Management Development Programme for Women Entrepreneurs (MDPWE) in 2012 was a step in that direction.
This programme salutes the entrepreneurial spirit of Rajasthan and at the same time aims at bringing the womenfolk of this great province into focus. IIMU believes that for that entrepreneurial spirit to continue and flourish over the generations, the ladies of this land have to be encouraged to start their own enterprises. Of course there are numerous women here who are successfully running their own businesses, but it is always a good idea to get a sense of order and structure in their endeavours. This is where MDPWE comes in. This programme is going to take place in 2013 as well.
The programme shall be flagged off in the IIMU campus on April 17 and shall go on till May 22, 2013. All existing and aspiring lady entrepreneurs who wish to get their business ideas honed by experts of IIMs are called upon to register themselves for this programme on or before April 3, 2013. All other details about the programme, including the nomination form, are available on the IIMU website: http://www.iimu.ac.in/mdp-2013/.
