Abstract:
Empowerment of women' is a precisely articulated issue that is being deliberated upon the world over as a means of economic development and that it is possible through New Enterprise Creation (NEC) by women is receiving wide acceptance. Eventhough we are witnessing the foray of women into the world of entrepreneurship to a greater extent than what it was even a decade ago, we are faced with evidences that tradition and cultural mores restrain and constrict women in their entrepreneurial endeavours since entrepreneurship is not only unfamiliar to them but also with all the odds against them.
