    IMC Ladies' Wing - Jankidevi Bajaj Puraskar for Rural Entrepreneurship

    The IMC Ladies' Wing in the year 1992-93, under the Presidentship of Smt. Kiran Bajaj, dedicated its programmes to the theme, 'Discover the Entrepreneur in You'. In a spirit of innovation, the Ladies' Wing and its members sought a close alliance with rural India to promote, support and honour the substantial work being done there in the field of entrepreneurship.

    The year 1993 happened to be the birth centenary of Jankidevi Bajaj who had involved herself in the movement of rural entrepreneurship in more ways than one. It was indeed a welcome gesture for the Ladies' Wing when Bajaj Electricals Ltd. willingly offered to sponsor the Award.
