PNS|Hyderabad

WE Hub, Telangana government’s incubator to foster and promote women entrepreneurship facilitated an exposure visit to 101 intermediate (MPC and BiPC) students from Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) and Model schools from Rajanna-Sircilla district.

The students were accompanied by 12 school principals and a gender and quality coordinator representing the collectorate. The students, at the end of the session, were encouraged to share innovative ideas that they can develop into a prototype at a later stage. The students also interacted with student entrepreneurs who were incubated at WE Hub earlier to understand their journey and also learn the art of balancing education and the willingness to become entrepreneurs.

In her interaction with the students, Deepthi Ravula, CEO of WE Hub said, “In the four years of WE Hub’s work, we have noticed that the number of women entering into the technological field is minimal.

This has led us to strategise for a mechanism which addressed the strong need for cultivating skills and mindset among young girls and thereby create pathways to ensure gender parity.”

“We look forward to nurturing confidence and competence in this sector and developing capabilities such as critical thinking and problem-solving, creativity and systems thinking, social skills and teamwork amongst selected students,” Deepthi added.
