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.
