Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday said Indian economy is on the path of revival and women will play a leading role in the post Covid-19 economy.
“Women’s economic contribution will be included going forward, which has been close to negligible till now,” he said adding that women entrepreneurs can become business aggregators in the country.
Addressing a webinar organised by FICCI FLO on ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat: Inclusive Growth for Transforming India’, Pradhan said, “With Covid-19, technology has brought equalisation in the society. There will be an exponential growth in the use of technology for conducting business. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and with the stimulus packages being announced, the Central and State governments are working towards securing both lives and livelihoods of people. He also spoke about the city gas distribution network in the country.”
Jahnabi Phookan, President, FLO said for an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, it is important to take the women along.
