In India, 8 million women entrepreneurs are there and its
proportion is more in Karnataka which is contributing to a greater extent
towards rural development. A female entrepreneur is a person who takes on
difficult roles to meet her personal needs and become economically independent.
A country’s regional economic development is defined by its Entrepreneurial
activities. They are the dominant determinants for job creation and uplifting
the quality of life. Entrepreneurship, particularly women entrepreneurship is
gaining greater significance across the globe and in India. With the rising
economy, the number of women entrepreneurs is also increasing steadily. The
definition of women entrepreneurship, in a larger sense, refers to women who
take the risk and challenge to meet their personal needs and at the same time
to become economically self-sufficient. The Present study focuses on empowering
the rural women in the rural district of Karnataka. Located in the southwest
region of Bengaluru, the geography encompasses four taluks with a population of
10.82 lakhs (Source: 2011 census). It is based on secondary data from books,
journals, articles, websites and government reports. This study identified the
status of women entrepreneurs in Ramanagara district and their valuable
contribution to sustainable rural economic growth. The paper also focuses on
the future scenario of women entrepreneurs and government initiatives to make
them more invincible. This study reveals several strategies for empowering
rural women.
