has given SMEDA the task of setting of first Women Business Incubation Center (WBIC) which was successfully established. This center is addressing the Women specific business development needs along with providing then secure space to nurture their business. Hence, it would not only provide physical facility but also impart business management training to existing and new entrepreneurs.
