Divyang Entrepreneurship & Empowerment

In 2020, BPG partnered with the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Ahmedabad, to identify and train Divyang entrepreneurs across the Saurashtra region — taking our mission of self-reliance a step further, from employability to business ownership.

The results have been striking: over 1,200 Divyang individuals trained, with more than 500 going on to start their own businesses.
