These centers, supported by EDII in select states as NRO, enable SHG members to assume leadership roles. Despite working on a voluntary basis, BRC leaders are often driven by non-monetary rewards such as respect, social recognition, and a sense of purpose. However, challenges like disguised unemployment and poverty exists at the community level. Further, dependency on external stakeholders also poses barriers to achieving long-term institutional sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to use the Vroom’s expectancy theory to decipher the motivation of the community institution leadership, such as the BRC members to actualize the institutional mandate and serve the rural people by enabling them to start and sustain micro enterprises.

This project systematically evaluates both "Entrepreneurship Activity" and the "Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions" across diverse economies, providing valuable insights into entrepreneurial dynamics on a global scale. Established two and half decades ago, the GEM Project has produced a significant dataset that captures the nuances of entrepreneurial phenomena within the country. This paper makes use of the GEM India Study database. It explores the entrepreneurial ecosystem in India with a broad aim: to promote entrepreneurial activity.

In the process of growth, entrepreneurial development has a significant role to play. Here is an attempt to understand the path of entrepreneurial development in India from the period 2000 to 2024 by reviewing the various literature published in different noted journals. To better understand this, the researchers subdivided the time into two halves, i.e. 2000 - 2010 and 2010 - 2024, and accumulated available literature for the study and also tried to find out the comparative scenario of the two periods and their existing gap. Around 50 noted literatures are scrutinized and discussion is made as reflected in the inve stigated literature. Primarily, the study has highlighted that from the period 2000 - 2010, entrepreneurship in India has been mainly shaped by liberalization and privatization with meager amount of technological institutional arrangements. On the other hand , in the period 2010 - 2024 there were found to be supportable govt.

Despite the increased scholarly focus, existing research highlights major gaps in understanding how gender-specific factors influence the translation of individual’s entrepreneurial intentions into concrete actions. Existing research finds that a supportive or not-supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem and parents’ occupation as entrepreneurs also can greatly influence individuals' entrepreneurial intentions and actions. Therefore, this empirical study examines the effect of gender on individuals' entrepreneurial intentions and actions and also looks into influencing role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in this mechanism.
