THREATS AND ISSUES FACED BY WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS IN INDIA – WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN

Entrepreneurship

Women entrepreneurship has seen rapid development in the recent years, yet the hurdles they face are not new. Social, cultural, institutional, economic, technical problems have been existing for years for women entrepreneurs and although progress has been made in this regard, women entrepreneurs continue to be at a disadvantage. The problems faced by women entrepreneurs vary from country to country and state to state. The aim of the study is to find threats and issues that women entrepreneurs in India have to face along with additional challenges that women entrepreneurs from a rural heavy area, in this case Rajasthan, have to face. The investigation tries to give contour to the problems by recognising them independently. It further shines light on problems of low literacy, poor financial capabilities, lack of skills and training and the insufficient government support that women entrepreneurs face. The study also attempts to find out the most significant challenges that women entrepreneurs of Rajasthan must face from the data collected in the pilot research. Additionally, the results are put together to give weight to the analysis and credibility to the secondary data.
