Women’s groups to turn entrepreneurs by setting up cement brick making units

To strengthen the financial status of women, the State government has proposed 13 business models under the Indira Mahila Shakti Scheme. As part of this, the government women groups are being encouraged to enter the brick manufacturing business. It has been decided to set up 174 units in 58 mandals of the erstwhile Karimnagar district.

Officials,



who said they were collecting the details of women groups that are interested in setting up cement brick units, said apart from encouraging the women to enter the brick-making business, marketing facilities would also be provided. The government is planning to utilise the cement bricks manufactured by the women groups for the construction of houses under the Indiramma Scheme.
