Abstract

Entrepreneurship plays an eminent role in creating an employment opportunity for rural and urban communities, providing self-employment for those who have started-up a business of their own and enhancing the economic status of all the sector as well. Today, women are also interested to establish their own business as professionally both in the urban and rural areas due to overcome poverty, generate family income and increasing standard of living. Women’s development is not nearly about reducing poverty by increasing productivity, but also about women’s liberation and empowerment. Hence, it is necessary to empower women socially, economically and technologically to enable them to stand in society on their own with confidence. It includes both controls over resources and ideology, greater self-confidence and an inner transformation of one’s consciousness that enables one to overcome external affairs. In today’s competitive world, there are various ways by which women get themselves empowered. Entrepreneurship development and income generating activities are a feasible solution for empowering women who leads to economic independence, the opportunity to have control over their lives, self-reliance, self-determination and a way to achieve for themselves.
