An entrepreneur is a vital component of the development process and an integral part of the socioeconomic transformation process. For the development of a society, full participation of all section of population including women is important. Entrepreneurship development among women can be reflected a possible approach to economic empowerment of women. Indian women are striking a balance between traditional and progressive values of the society in transition through playing dual responsibility at home and at the work place. In spite of the increasing number of women entrepreneurs, their participation remains inconsiderable and their share in the growth of national economy is significantly low, reason being the influence of rigid social attitudes and discriminating treatment towards women. Low mobility, high cost of production, low rate of achievement, shortage of finance, insufficient marketing facilities, shortage of raw materials and majorly the fulfilment of dual role at home and work place. Though women entrepreneurs possess good leadership qualities they do face many obstacles influenced by social and financial factors. It is important to promote entrepreneurship among women to improve the economic situation of the women. A proper environment with support from society, primarily their own family, and government can solve many of the issues and as such, government has rolled out several initiatives and schemes to help women entrepreneurs to overcome the barriers. |
