No Applications Received Under E4W Manufacturing Scheme: Govt

Recent reporting shows that the government’s E4W (Electronics for Women) manufacturing-scheme — aimed at boosting women-led manufacturing and promoting entrepreneurship — has seen zero applications despite publicity. The lack of uptake highlights potential issues in awareness, incentive design, or perceived viability among target beneficiaries. This raises questions about efficacy of policy-designed manufacturing-schemes and suggests possible need for re-evaluation of scheme parameters, outreach, or support mechanisms to encourage real participation.
