Participants, including Sarp-anchs, Naib Sarpanch, Gover-nment officials and educated unemployed youth, attended the programme under JKEDI’s awareness campaign regarding the term loan scheme the institute implements under the National Minorities Development and Finance Corporation (NMDFC) under which financial assistance up to Rs 10 lakh is provided at concessional interest rates to the financially weaker sections of minority communities under NMDFC’s term loan scheme.
Syed Firdoos, communication officer JKEDI, presided over the function and urged upon the participants to help the institute in creating mass awareness about entrepreneurship in the State.
