Good initiative by Jamia, but I hope the training actually leads to real business opportunities and not just certificate distribution. Many such programmes lack follow-up support. Still, a step in the right direction.

Amazing to see universities actively building entrepreneurship ecosystems. The focus on leadership and communication skills is exactly what we need for grassroots-level change. Way to go, JMI! 🌟

This is what I call smart use of government funds. Instead of just giving doles, teaching women to be self-reliant and create jobs. Would love to see some success stories in the next few months. 🤞

Kudos to JMI for this! But I feel sad that such programmes are mostly concentrated in a few cities. We need these in small towns and rural areas where women entrepreneurs struggle the most. Still, happy to see progress. 😊

PM VIKAS seems to be making a genuine impact. Integrating entrepreneurship training with university infrastructure is a smart move. Hope this becomes a model for other institutions across the country.

As a Delhi resident, it's encouraging to see such initiatives. But I also think the media should cover more regular updates from these programmes rather than just the certificate ceremony. Transparency builds trust.
