Why is Entrepreneurship Important for Women?

Entrepreneurship is crucial for women, especially in rural India, as it advances economic empowerment, transforming individual lives and strengthening families, communities, and societies. With the per capita income for women significantly lower than that of men, entrepreneurship provides a vital pathway to financial independence and self-reliance. By becoming entrepreneurs, women gain confidence, improve their social standing, and contribute to the economic growth of their villages.
