Abstract
In recent years, the emergence of women entrepreneurs and their contribution to the Indian economy is quite visible. The number of women venturing into entrepreneurial activity over the years has witnessed considerable improvement, growth and development. It is estimated that women entrepreneurs comprise about 10% of the total number of entrepreneurs in India. Women who radiate unmistakable glow of leadership in the society, need to be lauded for their significant contribution to the growth and development of the economy. Hence it is easy to observe and conclude that entrepreneurship in general and women entrepreneurship in particular is in direct relation to national development. Various schemes have been set up and a number of initiatives have been geared towards promoting women entrepreneurship and empowerment. Among the various mechanisms available for this purpose, micro enterprise is considered one of the vital tools for empowering the women. Women empowerment through micro enterprise has been very significant over these years. This paper attempts to bring out the empowerment of women through micro enterprises.
