Women Entrepreneurship

In the process of planned and balanced rural and regional development in the developing countries, the set of critical questions faced by them is how to generate full employment for the labour force, how to increase income levels of the people and how to reduce the glaring disparities in the standards of living. One realistic and practical mechanism in meeting the challenge of development appears to be in the realm of Rural Empowerment. It is therefore essential that Entrepreneurship Development be stressed and more so among women. Three cardinal factors, which are vital for economic development in terms of employment generation, utilisation of human, physical and material resources and empowerment of women are stressed in the manuscript cum treatise. Developing entrepreneurship among women cannot be achieved in isolation and suitable conditions need to be created and a conducive environment needed to promote entrepreneurship among women, which would ultimately result in their empowerment. The present book is mainly to focus on the way togo ahead about encouraging women to venture into entrepreneurial activity.
