Women in India have traditionally been seen almost exclusively as wives, mothers and homemakers. The ascription of such stereotypes has had the effect of minimalising their direct economic participation. This has led to a feeling of loss of autonomy in women and has also affected the overall growth of the economy. Since 1992, NMIMS has been most active in planning strategies for the development of women in the fields of management and entrepreneurship. The School of Business Management, NMIMS Deemed-to-be University is uniquely equipped to train women in planning, managing and running a business.
