    Of all leading nations, India has the youngest population in the world where over 50 per cent of its population (total population over 1.3 billion) which is an estimated 470 million people are of working age, according to the National Sample Survey Office. Of this entire productive workforce about 45%of them are the female population. The female work force is highly underutilised as according to statistics, India currently ranks 70 out of 77 nations on the Female Entrepreneurship Index.Thus, the main objective of ENPRENDIA is to enhance entrepreneurial culture among female population in Indian HEIs while promoting gender equality and gender equity - not only inside the walls of academic institutions but also extending it to civil society and their local communities. Indian society is characterized by miscellany in caste, religion, languages, festivals, attire, economic status and location, among others. However, for various reasons the representation of various groups of the society in terms of participation within the higher education system has remained historically unequal. The emphasis laid on providing an equitable access to opportunities to female students representing various diversified groups is highlighted in ENPRENDIA.The main outputs will be to integrate gender equality policies and strategies within 8 HEIs in India.The project likewise will establish 8 Entrepreneurship Resource Centers (ERCs) with the goal of promoting entrepreneurship among female students, researchers and also bridging universities with local industry and civil society.One innovative aspect is the close cooperation with primary and secondary schools to promote science and entrepreneurship among children and young people.The impact of ENPRENDIA will be felt with the adoption of gender equality policies and equal opportunities by partner HEIs, by sustaining structures that connect universities with the business sector and by enhancing creative skills among young generations.
