Abstract
As per the data available, women constitute approximately 50% of world population, but they hardly receive 10% of total income and less than 1% of total assets owned by the society at large. To improve the social status of women, it is necessary to mobilize this category of human resources towards gainful employment through entrepreneurship. The inclusion of this class of society towards entrepreneurship, will not only widened the span of the contributors to the gross domestic product but also enable them to improve their economic health as well as contributing towards improvement of per capita income. The development of entrepreneurship among the women will bring multifold impact on improvement of the social fabric, as it provide an opportunity to be self employed, improvement of economic and social status as well as providing opportunity for the employment to others. The development of entrepreneurship requires careful study and analysis of various opportunities, besides facing multifold challenges, which are more complex in women due to their dual role to play.The present paper is an endeavor to enlighten about the various challenges being faced by the women entrepreneurs and probable approach to encounter the challenges coming in their ways.
