Working endlessly towards handholding the local MSMEs to prosper and the overall socio-economic upliftment of the State of Odisha, World Trade Center Bhubaneswar today inked a letter of understanding with UNICEF India. The prime objective of the initiative is to put together an effective platform for supporting the adolescents from the vulnerable backgrounds and CCI’s in order to attain sustainable human development goals. Counselling, personality development, life skill training and creating employability of these young masses through effective MSMEs linkages are the key aspects of the understanding.
