Abstract

Women entrepreneurship is an emerging reality in the world. In the coming years one of the biggest challenges to the world will be retaining the rural population by employing them in some kind of activity. In India women constitute at least half of the population. Unless entrepreneurship among the rural population becomes economically rewarding through the intervention of NGOs and SHGs, it will be difficult to attract and retain the rural women for any kind of engagement or activities in the rural areas. The NGOs in India are functioning to a great extent especially in rural areas. The NGOs and SHGs are working in the right direction to train rural women entrepreneurs and empower them in order to eradicate poverty in rural areas. Taking the issue of NGOs and their role in developing science, this research paper reveals and examines the development of rural women entrepreneurship which indirectly develops a system in rural women.
