The Joyeeta Foundation was an initiative developed by the Department of Women Affairs in 2011 under the policy guidance of the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs (MoWCA). Since then, it has empowered women by providing a platform for them to develop their vocational and entrepreneurial skills.
During the visit, CPSC and the Joyeeta Foundation explored possible capacity building programs to be offered for their beneficiaries. Some of the possible topics identified include management and entrepreneurial skills for SMEs and vocational courses in culinary and textile arts.
