Abstract

The principle of equality is enshrined within the Constitution of India which guarantees gender equality and empowers the State to formulate affirmative action in favour of women. The Government of India and the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (M/o MSME) has taken many steps in order to support and protect the interest of women entrepreneurs. This study attempts to identify the activities conducted and schemes offered by M/o MSME for the encouragement of women entrepreneurs and to get an overview about the enterprises run by women entrepreneurs in MSME Sector in India. The present study is based on review of literature and a descriptive analysis of secondary data collected from official website of M/o of MSME, its annual reports, articles published in online research journals and newspaper. The landscape of women entrepreneurship indicates that women MSMEs have managed to enhance their share in the overall MSME base. To become successful entrepreneurs’ women must trust their entrepreneurial abilities and after attaining success they should make an effort to create entrepreneurial ecosystem through sharing of resources, mutual support and formation of women's support networks. The empowered woman of this era can take up any profession of her choice but as a successful entrepreneur she can provide a living for many others, as envisioned by leaders and policy makers of our country
