Held on International Women's Day, the initiative aimed to address the underrepresentation of women in this rapidly growing field.

The event focused on identifying and addressing policy gaps that hinder women's participation in green jobs. Discussions revolved around fostering skill development and capacity building specifically targeted towards women. Sharing insights and recommendations from established women leaders in the renewable energy sector was a key aspect of the program.


This move by the MNRE highlights the government's commitment to promoting gender equality in the workforce. By equipping women with the necessary skills and knowledge, and addressing policy barriers, the initiative seeks to create a more diverse and inclusive renewable energy sector. This not only empowers women but also strengthens the overall growth and development of the clean energy industry in India.
