Bhubaneswar, June 3 (UNI) The second edition of the Swayamshree Conclave was held in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday, bringing together policymakers, development practitioners, industry leaders, civil society organisations and women’s collectives to deliberate on strategies for strengthening and scaling women-led livelihood models across Odisha.
Organised under the Swayamshree programme—a collaborative initiative of the Department of Mission Shakti, Reliance Foundation and the Gates Foundation—the conclave served as a platform to share field-level learnings, foster Public–Private–Community Partnerships (PPCPs), and explore pathways for expanding sustainable livelihood opportunities for women.
