Samriddhi Felicitates Entrepreneurs

Samriddhi, the Prosperity Foundation, felicitated eight young entrepreneurs for their outstanding achievements amidst a special function organised in the capital on December 12. The felicitation programme which followed a series of other events including seminars and interactions between successful and budding entrepreneurs was the final event to celebrate the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) 2013.

 

“The final event is the one that recognizes the efforts and success stories of prominent and upcoming entrepreneurs from different sectors,” said a press statement from Samriddhi, “These entrepreneurs are thus recognized for creating wealth, jobs and better goods and services that make the lives of hundreds and thousands easier.” 

 

Samriddhi has been celebrating GEW, which is celebrated globally from November 17 to 23, since 2010. “However, given the second Constituent Assembly elections on November 19, the celebrations of GEW in Nepal took place eight days later,” the statement said. Renowned social entrepreneur Anil Chitrakar was the key-note speaker of the programme which was moderated by Ranjit Acharya, CEO of Prisma Advertising.
