International Woman’s Day was celebrated on March 8, 2015, at School of Management (SOM), Manipal Academy of Higher Education. To marks this occasion UPWAVE (Unleashing Potential of Women – Association for Value Enhancement) was launched at the Institute. UPWAVE is an initiative launched by POWER (Platform of Women Entrepreneurs Reg) with organizational support of School of Management, Manipal Academy of Higher Education. This forum is geared towards championing entrepreneurship through targeted programs that would collectively address the unemployment problem among women by providing them with opportunities to develop their leadership skills, training in marketable job oriented skills, and access to resources and linkages needed to realize their potential as young social and economic entrepreneurs.
