Entrepreneurs are playing an important role in the economic development of the underdeveloped country. Women’s skills and knowledge, their talents and abilities in business and a compelling desire of wanting to do something positive are some of the reasons for the women entrepreneurs to organize industries. According to World Bank, investing more in the business of women rather in men leads to the greater development of a nation. Empowering women in entrepreneurship lead to break the inequalities and reduces the poverty. Entrepreneurship plays an important role in developing a society of a fast developing country like India. Nowadays it has been realized that enterprising women have vast entrepreneurial talents which could be harnessed so as to convert them from the position of Jobseekers to Job givers.
