The idea behind establishing WAGE is to generate employment among women with a view to empower them in all aspects also by providing them necessary and required training support for ensuring that they become job givers rather than job seekers by becoming entrepreneurial leaders.

Between 1990 and 2016, many researches have been conducted in different areas relating to Women's development and empowerment. Accordingly many publications have been brought out in the form of occasional monographs and case books.
