210 women trained to mentor aspiring rural women entrepreneurs across Mirzapur, Bhadohi, Gorakhpur, Jhansi, Kaushambi, Prayagraj and Lucknow

Cadres across 22 Udyamita Suvidha Kendras in 11 districts of Uttar Pradesh are currently undergoing training to deepen their competencies in entrepreneurship pipeline development, enterprise support services, and ecosystem facilitation. The training strengthens a community-owned model in which women facilitators embedded within Cluster Level Federations deliver contextualised business planning, credit linkages, and market exposure to rural entrepreneurs.

Community-embedded women enterprise-support cadres called Sukshma Udyam Sakhis are being trained and deployed across all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh to support women-led non-farm enterprises at the grassroots level. This DAY-NRLM initiative, supported by Development Alternatives and operationalised through UPSRLM, aims to build a cadre of 13,000+ Sakhis to help achieve the state's goal of enabling 6.5 lakh women-led enterprises.
