COWE Umbrella constitutes the activities initiated since inception with certain ultimate objectives for the benefit of women. Some of them are briefed below.

  • COWE members and MC members participated in many seminars, both National and International. Interacts with CII, BYST, ZDH-SEQUA, GOAP-IT, NCEAR, World Bank, HYSEA, NASSCOM just to name a few.
  • COWE has conducted International seminars in big forums like GITEX which was supported by IT&C Dept., Govt.of A.P., parallel to sessions being conducted by NASSCOM, HYSEA, & CII..
  • Delegates have visited other Countries to participate/learn from the workshops, seminars and trade fairs there with the support of ZDH-SEQUA, MSME & NSIC. COWE members have made their presence in Australia, Germany, Italy, Srilanka, Egypt, Malaysia, Thailand, Slovenia, Spain and United States of America. The varied profile of the delegates has been appreciated. COWE members also benefited from the B2B contacts, meeting with various Chambers and officials of important government bodies of the respective countries. The wealth of information is passed on to the COWE office and it percolates down to members who want specific information.
  • One such major activity of the COWE is a yearly Trade Carnival which is a platform for Women Entrepreneurs to display and market the products to a wider and large section of the society. This has been a great support to small women entrepreneurs and there has been very good feed back from stall holders and participants of the Trade Carnival 2010. The major feature of this trade carnival is that it not only is a platform to exhibit & market the products, but  it also creates an environment to interact with the people who can guide and lead them to be a leading entrepreneur.
  • COWE conducted yearly Trade Carnival which is a plat form for Women Entrepreneurs to display and market the products to a wider and large section of the society.   We have conducted Trade Carnivals successfully  in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Our 4th Annual Trade Carnival 2010 was from 23rd October 2010 to 25th October 2010  at People’s Plaza, Necklace Road, Hyderabad  with over 160 stalls. It was subsidized for COWE Members enabling  even small traders/manufacturers to participate. This facilitated a market for the products and provided year long B2B contacts. Promotion and publicity improved their visibility. Other states have also participated and women organizations have sent their delegates to study the organization of Trade Fairs.
  • Conducted Retail Seminar and Tie-Ups with various Retail Chains for women to exhibit their products in these retail outlets .
  • Setting up Engineering Park as a first phase at Toopran, Kalakal Village, Medak District which was given to us at a little subsidized rate by the Govt. of A.P.  COWE completed the sale Agreement with all the Women Entrepreneur allottees of the individual plots in COWE’s Industrial and Engineering Estate at Toopran.   Bio-Technology Park and Food Park are in the offing. COWE assists members by providing incubators. A few members started their business through these incubator facilities and later shifted into their own offices. Incubator facilities have facilitated easy start-ups.
  • COWE initially financed 5 looms in Dharmavaram and they have with their repayments set up 24 more looms. We have also provided marketing support to them besides giving them the designs and advice. COWE also facilitated micro-finance in Jadcherla.
  • Our mission is to enhance women’s opportunities in achieving the vision by creating a resource base of technical know-how, management, marketing skills, finance, infrastructure and equipment to promote entrepreneurship. COWE is in the process of strengthening the data base by setting up a Business Consultancy Cell at Hyderabad.
  • Our vision is to build a women force that is economically empowered, valued citizens of the nation. By pooling the dormant talent, skills, practical knowledge and resources of a woman and combining it with her intrinsic quality of dedication and commitment, we will achieve this. We are reaching out to women from all sectors and all segments and all ages by awareness building workshops both in the COWE office and in colleges.
  • Counselling is a  primary necessity for women who do not really know how to go about or what to do. We provide basic counseling at COWE office and step in up with a consultant’s support in their specific field.
  • At regular intervals conducted entrepreneurial developmental programs.
  • Published member directory and newsletters, Souvenirs with an aim to facilitate member interaction and to inform them about the activities of the organization.
