Empowering Women at Grassroots – A Case Study Analysis on Aspirational Districts Krishnaveni, Raparla Venkata; Pandey, Nisha Women from indigenous and grassroots communities are the caretakers of traditional knowledge and are vital to the livelihoods, resilience, and culture of their communities. Due to gender-based discrimination, social norms, and unequal access to education, women in rural areas, confront challenges, while engaging in economic activity. The role of women in the economic development must be strengthened at the grassroots levels, in order to reduce poverty, improve health and education to achieve other developmental goals. To bring decision-making closer to the local level, to understand the importance of participation promoting growth of employment, with an aim at reducing poverty and inequality, and to assess India’s performance in achieving sustainability by 2030, we have taken three case studies from poor and backward aspirational districts, to examine women empowerment through sustainable institutional approach. The present study explores, how the social status and income generation of the women along with the community improved, with the support and assistance of institutional interventions. The study tries to investigate the efforts made by various institutions through the recently launched Aspirational Districts programmes, by strengthening the grassroots and empowering the rural women through skilling, creating the entrepreneurial intent in the women, and social engagement among local actors, which can lead to community development.

Developing Sustainable Women Entrepreneurship: A Study of Mann Deshi Bank and Foundation Kumar K, Naveen; Kashyap, Ashutosh Entrepreneurship has been defined in the 18th century as an attempt related to industrial activities and business. Entrepreneurship Development in a country and, its economic growth and prosperity are significantly correlated. The last few decades have witnessed the emergence of women as an entrepreneur not only in developed but developing countries too. Women entrepreneurship contributes immensely to higher GDP per capita and employment generation. It was only in 1976 when the first academic paper on women's entrepreneurship was published. There has a huge gap between the males and females involved in entrepreneurial activities in almost all countries. The mean rate of women’s objective to start an enterprise is 17.6 percent which is 4 percent lesser than the men.

Antecedents Leading to Capacity Building of Women Entrepreneurs: A Study with Reference to Women Entrepreneurs from Delhi NCR Chhabra, Meghna Entrepreneurship helps women in gaining financial independence and social status, making others recognize their skills and abilities. Women entrepreneurs have a touch of social commitment for society and have the belief that starting up their new and innovative venture will entail economic development as well as employment generation. Their ability to convert an innovative thought into an entrepreneurial venture can be seen in the level of success and growth of these ventures. The efforts of the women entrepreneurs in the utilization of resources, creating employment opportunities, and setting a benchmark for other women are highly appreciable (Kamberidou, 2020). All over the world, women having an entrepreneurship mindset tends to hop into the process of entrepreneurship and accomplish it in this competitive business setting. However, the existence of gender inequality poses immense challenges in the way of women business owners in comparison to their male counterparts. Even from the study conducted by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (2019-2020) in the overall countries, it is evident that in the majority of countries there is lesser involvement of women in entrepreneurial activities.

Female Social Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies: Influence of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Personal Resources Borah, Manash Jyoti; Kumar, Rohit; Kesharbani, Neeraj Kumar Social entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship ecosystem have been among the most rapidly growing fields in entrepreneurship research. However, even after having a strong influential basis, the study of these aspects is underexplored within a single study setting. By considering the Global entrepreneurship monitor data, we aim to investigate female social entrepreneurship (FSE) in an Asian emerging country context. We aim to use the social cognitive career theory (SCCT) lens to understand the impact of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) on FSE. We also aim to examine the moderating impact of the entrepreneurship ecosystem (EE) on the relation between ESE and FSE. By doing this study, we want to extend the SCCT to FSE in an emerging country context and find the crucial EE elements for FSE.
