The UdayME Melas held in Chirgaon and Mauranipur blocks of Jhansi have opened new pathways for grassroots entrepreneurship, bringing enterprise development services, technologies, and markets under one roof. These events are designed to provide women entrepreneurs and local businesses with access to finance, technology, and market linkages—key ingredients for building sustainable enterprises.

In Chirgaon, the Mela drew over 800 participants and generated a strong pipeline of 400 potential entrepreneurs for Enterprise Support Services (ESS). The enthusiasm of the community was evident across 25 stalls that showcased a wide range of products and services—from SHG-led enterprises, solar units, and e-rickshaws to kiosk services, microfinance institutions, LED shops, clay pottery, cosmetics, and food products such as pulses, porridge, and oil. The diversity of stalls reflected both the entrepreneurial energy of the community and the opportunities that can be unlocked through the UdayME platform. The programme also integrated promotional activities for Kaun Banega Business Leader (KBBL) and Safe Mobility, which were met with keen interest. Support from Chirgaon Block officials gave the Mela a strong institutional anchor.

In Mauranipur, the Mela attracted more than 1,000 participants, creating a pipeline of 300 entrepreneurs for ESS. The turnout highlighted the growing appetite for enterprise solutions in the block. The cooperation and active presence of Mauranipur Block officials added momentum to the event, helping to lay the groundwork for sustained follow-up in the region.
