Speaking to media persons in Press meet at Udupi Press Club here on Tuesday, 9th January, 2018, Dr. Gayathri R., President of POWER & Organizing Chairperson, Power Parbha – 18 said that Platform of Women Entrepreneurs Regd. (POWER) is a not-for-profit Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) based in Udupi district which has been working for the empowerment of women since the past 9 years. The vision of POWER is to unite women entrepreneurs, inspire them and help them realize their dreams and totransform the role of women in business into a dynamic force.

 

POWER has been organizing marketing fairs like Gramotsava to provide a platform for women and rural folk to market their products to a wider community. Due to the demand for more and more opportunities like this, POWER PARBA took shape; the first edition of which was held in 2016.

 

POWER Parba is a festival which celebrates women entrepreneurship. It is a festival conceptualized by team POWER which helps budding women entrepreneurs to showcase their products, services and talent to a wide audience. We aim to bring into this festival, women who are running small home-based businesses in rural and urban areas of Udupi district, women who have a small business establishment (MSMEs), women who want to scale up their enterprise and women whose hobbies can be converted into a source of income. 

The main objectives of PARBA are:

  • To bring rural and urban women entrepreneurs under one umbrella.

  • Create awareness amongst the local community about these women.
  • Disseminate marketing, management and technical knowledge.
  • To help women entrepreneurs develop contacts with buyers and networking.
  • Marketing of products and display of projects of MSME’s which are owned or co-owned by women.
  • Marketing of products from rural and tribal run cottage industries.
  • Help in developing new markets and expand existing markets for these women.
