Question

Role of self help groups to develop women entrepreneurs

Answer 1

Covestro (India) started with a STEM journey in India as a small initiative to reach out to young girls  and generate their  interest in STEM fields so that they can pursue STEM education; thereby, choose a profession in STEM. 2 years ago, we reached out to 100 girls from Delhi. In 2017, we were astonished by the great participation response of 1327 girls. And, hence, now with the onset of our Indian festive season, we wish to celebrate this noble initiative of STEM as a festival; so in 2018, we will be celebrating #STEM4GirlsFestival2018 with an aim to educate and encourage more than 3000 girls across 6 different cities of India.
