Abstract

The number of women who work for themselves has grown three times as quickly as the number of selfemployed men. Additionally, they have had a considerable impact on the economies of those nations. Economic development and entrepreneurship are found to be mutually supportive. Women's entrepreneurship has recently grown in importance as a national problem. Women must contribute positively and constructively to the socioeconomic growth of the nation because they make up about 50% of the entire population of our nation. Lack of a supportive and acceptable entrepreneurial environment as well as an industrial base may be the cause of the inadequate rate of entrepreneurship among women. Initiating programmes for women's business development, the Indian government views human capital as the most important factor. Due to the fact that they involve women in income-generating activities either full- or part-time, these programmes do contribute to societal transformation. Therefore, the growth of women's grassroots entrepreneurship is essential for an economy that envisions women's active participation and contribution. It is well known that there are no physical or psychological differences between rural and urban business owners. As a result of the aforementioned discussions of the problem statement, the current study looks at the socioeconomic and motivational components of rural entrepreneurs.
