New Delhi, Apr 9 (KNN) As many as eleven most inspiring grassroot women entrepreneurs were felicitated at the 30th annual session of FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) here today.
Further, a total of 150 women entrepreneurs have been recognized and compiled in a publication titled 'Entrepreneurship: Against all Odds' by FLO for their achievements.
Among those felicitated were Chetna Sinha, a social entrepreneur from Satara, Maharashtra; Laxmi Lokhande who makes brooms and ropes from Maharashtra; Latha Gowri who runs a business of selling saris, dress material and community radio from Rangareddy, Andhra Pradesh; Anusuya Khoapde who stitches school uniforms and makes agarbattis from Pune, Maharashtra.
Others who were similarly honoured were Manorama Devi who runs a cosmetic shop and a SHG from Bodh Gaya, Bihar; and Anuradha Pegu who runs a hand-woven cloth business under 'Naturally Anuradha' brand from Kamrup, Assam.

These women too were likewise applauded for their initiatives.
Speaking at the event, President, FLO, Malvika Rai said, "This compilation is a humble attempt by FLO to recognise India's unsung women entrepreneurs and acknowledge the powerful role they play in helping build a better future for their families and communities, often while facing fierce challenges and difficulties."
On the other hand, Past President, FICCI, Harsh Pati Singhania said that empowering women was a necessity, but it was equally important to instill in each individual the feeling of pride for the nation.
He emphasized that the diminishing traits of discipline, accountability, consequence management and moral values need to be restored in every citizen to make India an action-oriented country.
Even as Neeta Boochra took charge as new FLO President, Vice President of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Najma Heptulla called for focus on population control, ending female infanticide and ensuring women’s safety.
Director General FICCI, Arbind Prasad also addressed the session.
On the eve of the Annual Session, a commemorative issue titled 'FICCI FLO: Celebrating 30 Years' was released by the Past Presidents of FLO. (KNN/ES)
