The venue will include arrangements for security, drinking water, restrooms, parking, and a bus stop. Additionally, local transport will ensure seamless connectivity to and from various parts of the district.

The organization’s mission is to strengthen women economically and foster a sense of unity among entrepreneurs.

The primary goals of the event include:
