GIDC reserves 30% plots for women entrepreneurs in Goa

The Goa Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) has reserved 30% of small plots for women entrepreneurs, a move welcomed by the Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI). This initiative aims to improve access to land for women in business. GCCI president Shrinivas Dempo noted that this decision addresses a significant barrier for women entrepreneurs. Currently, only 7% of medium enterprises in Goa are owned by women. Twenty plots are available in various locations, ranging from 600 to 3,000 square meters. The tender for these plots is open until March 31, and the GCCI encourages women to apply.
