Women entrepreneurs can play a key role in promotion of an egalitarian society by reducing income disparities, Karnataka Chief Secretary K. Ratna Prabha has said.

Participating as chief guest at the valedictory of the three-day international conference of women entrepreneurs, organised by the Association of Lady Entrepreneurs of India (ALEAP), here on Friday, Ms. Ratna Prabha said women were ably handling the family system, which plays a key role in society.
