  • Makewayforher
    #MakeWayForHer 1 MD SPEAKS SOCIETY THAT FAILS ITS WOMEN AND GIRLS, ULTIMATELY FAILS ITSELF… Women’s social and economic empowerment is critical for gender equality and for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Women make up one half of the world’s human capital and yet women continue to be denied control and access to resources and decision making. Gender inequality and skewed distribution of assets and power within family, workplace and socio-political institutions are both the cause and consequence of multiple forms of discrimination that tend to reproduce themselves over time and over generations thus having a negative impact on development outcomes. Empowering and educating girls and women and leveraging their talent and leadership fully in the global economy, politics and society emerges as the fundamental element of prospering in an ever more competitive world. It is time the world treats women differently and especially the workplace… The workplace is where the woman spends the maximum time and colleagues become family. Investing in women is investing in our future. I want to urge women to stand their ground. Fight back. Win. Break free from the shackles that tie them down and chase their dreams. It is time there are more women leaders. And, we as men, owe it to them. Let us together #MakeWayforHer. I pledge to #BeboldforChange and accelerate gender parity. Do you? Best wishes Ashwajit Singh 2 #MakeWayForHer #MakeWayForHer Campaign Do women come with a work expiry? The world of work is changing. The theme for International Women’s Day, 8 March, 2017, focuses on “Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030”.

  • Funding Education with Impact a Guide for Social Investment in India
    FUNDING EDUCATION WITH IMPACT A GUIDE FOR SOCIAL INVESTMENT IN INDIA Delivering High Impact. 1 FUNDING EDUCATION WITH IMPACT ”... it is clear that education will play a critical dual role of addressing poverty and inequality while supporting the transition to a new model of sustainable development. For this to occur, all stakeholders, from civil society and non- government organizations ... to multilateral organizations, bilateral aid agencies and all levels of government, will need to make concerted efforts to reorient systems of education, skills development, and research and innovation.” - UNESCO 2 ABOUT THE REPORT Building on the discussions initiated at the AVPN Conference in Bangkok in June 2017, this report is a deep dive into the social investment landscape in education in India. It has been designed as a guide for potential and existing social investors who would like to maximise impact in the education sector. It analyses gaps, desired outcomes and existing interventions by various social purpose organisations across the education segments - early childhood, primary, secondary, vocational and inclusive education. An overview of the current funding landscape, along with notable funding examples across the spectrum of funders, is also provided. Finally, the guide discusses ecosystem initiatives to identify potential synergies for funders. We hope this report serves as a comprehensive and practical guide for education funders to inform strategy and facilitate decision- making. Published by the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network

Overview 1 2. Commissionerate of 7 Industries and Commerce Tamil Nadu Small Industries 3. 45 Development Corporation (SIDCO) 4. Tamil Nadu Small Industries 65 Corporation (TANSI) Entrepreneurship 5. 71 Development & Innovation Institute (EDII) MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES DEPARTMENT Policy Note 2017-18 1. Synopsis Micro Small & Medium enterprises (MSMEs) are the growth engines for the economic development of a nation. The significance of MSMEs is attributable to their potential for employment generation, low capital and technology requirement, promotion of industrial development in rural areas, use of traditional, inherited skill, use of local resources, mobilization of resources and exportability of products. Thus MSMEs assume a pivotal role thereby contributing to an equitable distribution of national income, economic diversification and social stability. The entrepreneurial spirit and innovative nature of these enterprises have been crucial in driving competitiveness in the economy. 1.1. Role of the MSME Sector in the Indian Economy The MSME sector is an important pillar of Indian economy as it contributes greatly to growth of Indian economy with a network of millions of units, creating employment of about 70 million, manufacturing more than 6,000 products, contributing about 45% to manufacturing output and about 40% of exports, directly and indirectly. This sector even assumes greater importance now as the country moves towards a faster and inclusive growth agenda. Moreover, it is the MSME sector which can help to realize the target of proposed National Manufacturing Policy of raising the share of manufacturing sector in GDP from 16% at present to 25% by the end of 2022.
