Kohima: Kohima-based Entrepreneurs Associates (tEA) on Thursday organised a programme to empower and uplift women street vendors at the Tourist Lodge in Dimapur. The programme served as a medium to create awareness about women’s physical well-being.
Ganesh Sharma, Superintendent of Dimapur Municipal Council (DMC), spoke briefly on the various schemes and services available for women street vendors. He elaborated on the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, and how to avail of these schemes.
He further encouraged the women participants to become entrepreneurs and become financially independent.
Sekulu Nyekha, Head of Feminist Futures India, shed light on the menstrual health and hygiene of women. She put forward various personal narratives and research studies, proving how modern women still stay away from the topic of menstrual health.
Temjenlemla Phom, an active beneficiary of tEA also shared her experiences with tEA and encouraged other participants to get connected with tEA in the days to come.

Thanks to you, we have become Northeast India’s largest, independent, multimedia digital news platform.
Now, we need your help to sustain what you started.
We are fiercely protective of our ‘independent’ status and would like to remain so: it helps us provide quality journalism free from biases and agendas. From travelling to the remotest regions to cover various issues to paying local reporters honest wages to encourage them, we spend our money on where it matters.
Now, we seek your support in remaining truly independent, unbiased, and objective. We want to show the world that it is possible to cover issues that matter to the people without asking for corporate and/or government support. We can do it without them; we cannot do it without you.
Support independent journalism, subscribe to EastMojo.
Thank you,
