Abstract

Rural entrepreneurship has emerged as a cornerstone for inclusive and sustainable development in India. This paper reviews policy initiatives, institutional frameworks, and research trends that link entrepreneurship with the triple bottom line of economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Using secondary literature and recent program data (2020–2025), it examines schemes such as the One District One Product (ODOP) program, Startup Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP), and Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs). The review identifies key drivers including digital enablement, women’s empowerment, value-chain integration, and finance innovation, while highlighting persistent challenges like informality, infrastructure deficits, and climate risks. The study concludes that India’s rural entrepreneurship ecosystem is moving toward sustainability but requires greater integration of environmental metrics and resilience-building strategies to secure long-term rural prosperity.
