Here’s about Nagaland’s Women Entrepreneurs Master Regulatory Compliance Through WENN Workshops
In a state with a proven culture of entrepreneurship, Nagaland’s women are stirring a peaceful revolution-equipped not just with vision, but also with knowledge. Specially crafted workshops under the leadership of the Women Entrepreneurs Network of Nagaland (WENN) are empowering women entrepreneurs by equipping them with the skills they need to navigate India’s intricate web of regulatory environments.
Empowerment Through Education
For the women of Nagaland, entrepreneurship is less a question of passion—it’s one of building livelihoods and supporting local community development. But these intentions are often undermined by confused thinking on legal frameworks, taxation, licenses, and labour law. That’s where WENN comes in.
The workshops-coordinated with legal specialists, financial advisors, and government officials-hope to de-mystify the process of starting and growing a business in a compliant, legally correct manner.
“We don’t want women to just start companies. We want them to own viable, sustainable companies,” said a WENN coordinator.
What the Workshops Entail
GST Registration & Filing Procedures
MSME Benefits and Schemes: Clarification
Licensing Procedures (FSSAI, Trade, etc.)
Labour Laws and Employee Rights
Managing Inspections and Audits
Live case studies and live Q&A sessions are employed to ensure that even the most recent entrepreneur can keep pace with the training. Participants depart not just with confidence, but a tool kit which they can instantly implement.
The Impact So Far
More than 300 women throughout the state—organic farmers and artisans to boutique shop owners and food enterprise entrepreneurs—have availed themselves of these workshops in the last year. Most see higher levels of operation, improved accounting, and even government grants and subsidies they did not previously know existed.
“I was scared of papers,” said one Dimapur entrepreneur. “Now I’m in charge. I know my rights and my responsibilities.”
Building a New Narrative
By increasing regulatory literacy, WENN is not just enabling women to steer clear of legal traps—it’s building a new generation of businesswomen who are capable, confident, and poised to grow globally and domestically. This is particularly important in states such as Nagaland, where business can be a great force of economic resilience and women’s empowerment.
Conclusion: WENN workshops are not training sessions in the strict sense—but stepping stones to economic empowerment, business excellence, and a more inclusive entrepreneurial landscape for women in Nagaland. Learning the rules, these women are rewriting the game.
