Spearheading entrepreneurship movement throughout the nation is the need of the hour and I compliment Citi Bank for their commendable initiative in providing support to skill and knowledge building of the micro enterprises. Moreover, today’s winners will serve as role models who could inspire and mentor future generations of entrepreneurs.
