India has around 60 million Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with almost 20% being owned by women, employing 27 million people. The demand for loans by women for their businesses has grown significantly as well.
With India promoting women empowerment, the government schemes for women empowerment are also taking over, one such scheme is the SEHER credit education program promoting education and women empowerment.
What Is The SEHER Credit Education Program?
The Women Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP) and TransUnion CIBIL launched the SEHER program on July 8 to empower women entrepreneurs in India with financial literacy and business skills. This program is a part of WEP’s Financing Women Collaborative (FWC) aimed to increase access to finance while also creating an ecosystem for the women entrepreneurs in India.
The SEHER program will give women access to the financial tools they need to grow their business, create employment and enhance the country’s economy while also promoting education and women empowerment.
“A lack of financial awareness is often cited as one of the key roadblocks for MSME development, which is a high-priority segment for our country's economic growth,” said Anna Roy. WEP aims to empower women entrepreneurs by helping them in areas like finance, market linkages, training, mentoring and business development services.
The SEHER program also promotes the importance of financial literacy. Financial literacy is very important for entrepreneurs, it is needed to build a good credit history and increase the chances of them securing loans for the business. SEHER also focuses on educating women about maintaining a good CIBIL score, which is essential for accessing funds.
