Women Entrepreneurship in India – An Evaluative Study

Abstract

Entrepreneurship has always been a sure recipe for growth and development. For far too long this has been considered to be a male domain with women hardly having any role to play. Of late, however, the scenario is changing and women are being encouraged to become entrepreneurs. Rightly so, because you can not ignore almost fifty percent of the population and expect desirable results. Never the less, women entrepreneurs are still few and far between though many have proved that they also can perform effectively. The present review article is an evaluation of where women stand today in India as far as entrepreneurship is concerned.
