Women CoE
Women Centre of Excellence (CoE) @ Jagriti Enterprise Centre – Purvanchal (JECP)
The Women Center of Excellence at JECP is shaping an ecosystem where women can thrive as entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers. It equips them with access to skills, technology, finance, and markets, while building the confidence and networks needed to scale their enterprises and impact.
Grounded in Jagriti’s mission to inspire and enable India’s growth through Udyamita (entrepreneurship), the Centre nurtures purpose-driven enterprises, creates livelihoods, and strengthens local ecosystems in Tier 2 & 3 districts – the heart of Middle India. By advancing women’s Udyamita, it contributes to building a more inclusive and self-reliant India.
