She will meet the business community and women entrepreneurs, Jamir informed.

The conclave is open to NGOs of the state which have fulfilled the requirements of being registered under corporate law and have been functioning for 2-3 years implementing CSR projects.
He said that IDAN has opened the door and the conclave will not be an end for future CSR projects but it is only a beginning.
