In a recent segment on ARY News’ Bakhabar Savera, Deputy Governor of the State Bank, Saleem Ullah, highlighted how women can now manage home-based enterprises more easily than ever. With a growing number of women entrepreneurs turning their homes into productive workspaces, activities like sewing, crafting, cooking, and online selling are transforming traditional employment patterns. This initiative not only promotes women’s empowerment but also opens doors to sustainable business growth.
Saleem Ullah emphasized that women are being facilitated with numerous opportunities through both national and international support. By accessing training programs and financial assistance, women-led enterprises can thrive. The State Bank has introduced a dedicated app for these services, allowing women to manage applications, loans, and training seamlessly. Eligible women can secure loans of up to Rs500,000 with zero markup, backed by personal guarantees, fostering a secure and supportive environment for small business management.
In addition to financial support, women entrepreneurs can benefit from comprehensive training programs covering business planning, marketing, and modern operational methods. These initiatives equip women to develop businesses sustainably, whether it’s a home-based sewing, crafting, or cooking business, or an online business for women seeking broader markets. By combining government and bank support with digital resources, women now enjoy easier access to the tools they need to succeed.
These efforts are already showing measurable impact. Reports indicate that a growing number of women are managing businesses from home, leveraging modern techniques and financial frameworks to scale operations. This empowerment not only boosts household income but also contributes to the broader economy. Saleem Ullah’s announcement marks a significant step in supporting women-led enterprises across the country.
