Under this scheme, the bank will extend loan up to a maximum of ₹10 lakh with a repayment period of 84 months.
Launching the loan scheme in Dharwad, P Gopi Krishna, Chairman of KVGB, said that women entrepreneurs’ contribution to the national economy is quite visible.
Stating that the number of women entrepreneurs has grown over time, he said women entrepreneurs need to be lauded for increased utilization of modern technology, increased investments, and finding a niche in the export market.
