To strengthen our economy, India needs more
emerging businesses in every sector and potential entrepreneurs too to run these
businesses successfully, in lieu of which, there is an urgency to establish new
small and medium scale businesses in every small town and village which cannot
be possible without the active participation of women power.
As per the census, women in India constitute nearly 50% of its
population and out of this 50 %, considerable percentage of women are working
in the employment sector to earn their livelihood and simultaneously
contributing in the economic growth but when we particularly talk about the women entrepreneurs; they only constitute 10 % of the
total number of entrepreneurs in our country.
Looking at this huge disparity between the percentage of male
and female entrepreneurs, undeniably, Entrepreneurship amongst Women has become
a matter of concern. Particularly, in the rural areas, where the development of
women entrepreneurship is very low.
Thus to narrow this gap,Women Entrepreneurship development has
to be taken on a serious note for human resource development in our country.
To cater to this , Government must plan new
strategies to aim economic development and take
up the liability of raising potential women as successful entrepreneurs by
paying heed to their inhibitions along with acknowledging and further assisting
to the problems faced by them during establishing, organizing and running the
new set ups.
Simultaneously, to boost rural women to set up
their own businesses, Government must organize self awareness programmes and
various Entrepreneurship Development Programmes (EDPs) to cater to their needs, who may not have adequate
educational background and skills.
Along with providing sufficient information
& assistance, interested women should be facilitated with direct
& indirect financial support, timely technological training and assistance
for collaboration with renowned Federations and Associations to support their
existence in the market.
We wish to join hands with the government to
work more in this direction as this initiative would certainly broaden the
women’s horizon and in result, they would be no more limited to job seekers
rather grow out as efficient Job Providers, further contributing to the
progress and development of the nation.
