Project Samridhi reflects our collective belief that empowering women through entrepreneurship is not just about economic upliftment, but about transforming communities and inspiring generations. This extension motivates us to deepen our outreach and create even greater opportunities for women to thrive as innovators, leaders, and change-makers.”
Prof. Nagawat further emphasized that DSEU remains committed to developing pathways for women to access education, mentorship, and enterprise-building opportunities that align with the university’s larger mission of ‘Skilling Delhi, Empowering India.’
Partnership for Progress
With support of the Department of Women & Child Development, GNCTD, Project Samridhi has evolved into a powerful example of how academic institutions and government departments can jointly drive social and economic transformation. The initiative continues to identify and support women from diverse backgrounds — helping them acquire entrepreneurial skills, connect with markets, and access mentorship that fosters independence and confidence.
This renewed partnership will allow DSEU to reach a wider audience of women entrepreneurs and amplify its role as a catalyst for inclusive development. The University plans to expand training sessions, host entrepreneurship bootcamps, and strengthen mentorship linkages through collaboration with successful women entrepreneurs and industry experts.
