The “Womaniya” initiative was launched in 2019 and has sought to encourage the participation of women entrepreneurs and self-help groups (SHG) from the informal sector on the GeM portal and facilitate the sale of their products directly to various Government buyers, sans intermediaries. Generic product categories were created for a listing of handicrafts and handloom, accessories, jute and coir products, bamboo products, organic foods, spices, home décor, and office furnishings to facilitate ease-in product catalog listing and procurement from women entrepreneurs.
The objective of “Womaniya” is to develop women entrepreneurship on the margins of society who face challenges in accessing public procurement markets and work towards achieving gender-inclusive economic growth of under-served seller groups such as women-owned and led MSEs, tribal entrepreneurs, Divyangjan, Startups, SHGs, artisan and weavers. “Womaniya” neatly aligns with the Government’s initiative to set aside a target of three percent in public procurement for women-owned and led MSEs.
