With an aim to tap into the increasing power of social media, Facebook has joined hands with the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII) to impart training to over 7,500 entrepreneurs from Gujarat. It will equip them with skills to effectively use Facebook for digital marketing to grow their businesses online.
As part of its ‘Boost Your Business’ programme, Facebook will also support and train 20,000 youths and entrepreneurs across the country with the help of EDII.
The programme was inaugurated on Tuesday by chief minister Vijay Rupani along with Rohit Patel, minister of state - industry, mines and minerals, finance, Gujarat.
A workshop to ‘Boost Your Business’ for more than 400 participating entrepreneurs from across 22 states was also conducted. ‘Boost Your Business’ will now travel to Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot. Entrepreneurs from these cities who wish to participate can register themselves on EDII’s Facebook page.
Rupani said, “Our government stands for the overall development of Gujarat in line with Narendrabhai’s (PM) vision. Such programmes will help encourage entrepreneurship and employability besides provide global visibility which will help in growth of business and upliftment of society.”
Ritesh Mehta, head of programmes, Facebook, South Asia, said, “Much of the state’s progress is due to the sheer industry, dedication and talent of its people. As a Gujarati, who grew up in Surat, I can confidently say that this passion for enterprise when coupled with new world skills will enable the entire country’s entrepreneurs to accelerate their businesses through online exposure and integration with global markets.”
“We look forward to collaborate with Facebook to train entrepreneurs in Gujarat, and across the country, to access global markets through Facebook’s tools and technologies,” said Sunil Shukla, director, EDII.
