Budget measures aimed at empowering women Ms. Neha Bagaria,Co-Founder & CEO, JobsForHer

"I'm happy to see the Government address the issue of training and skilling women with the introduction of Mahila Shakti Kendras aimed at empowering women. Encouraging more women to join the workforce is critical to India's ability to benefit from the demographic dividend.

We will hopefully see an increase in female participation in the workforce, with the Government increasing allocation for women's skill development to Rs 1.84 lakh cr for FY'18.

We are moving in the right direction with these Government led schemes aimed at increasing the Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) for women. This is vital to achieving high growth of employment and overall economic growth".
