The Confederation of Women Entrepreneurs (COWE) would adopt Medak and Ranga Reddy districts in Andhra Pradesh to develop tourism and ICT literacy in the two districts respectively. | |
| COWE submitted a proposal to the state tourism ministry and IT & C ministry in this regard last week, said Shylaja Reddy, president, COWE, at a seminar conducted by the confederation on 'Women in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Support Services'. The seminar was organised under the aegis of the state department of IT&C at Gitex India 2006 here on Thursday. |

| COWE will prepare a digital map for Medak district based on the data collected by various women's organisations and also develop a rural tourism circuit involving women from all the villages or towns in the district. |
| |
| It also plans to establish an ICT Interaction Centre in Chevella where women will be invited and familarised with the technology through various interactive programmes. |

| Formed in November 2004, COWE is a non-profit society and works towards promoting participation and development of women in various social and economic sectors by exposing them to various business and developmental opportunities. |
