SUMMARY

“When you empower a man, you empower an individual; when you empower a woman, you empower a nation.” Women empowerment can be said as a process in which women challenge the existing norms and culture, to efficaciously improve their personality, status in the family as well as in the society. The economic empowerment of women is a crucial element of strong economic growth in any country. Entrepreneurship happens to be one of the best ways towards self-sufficiency and poverty alleviation for women in a country where employment is not guaranteed. Women’s involvement in entrepreneurial activities would ensure effective utilization of labour, generation of income and hence improvement in quality of life. Women empowerment through entrepreneurship is a must for a modern developed economy.
