Abstract:
Women by nature possess exceptionally brilliant managing skills. They have inherited the skills of organizing, planning, directing, and coordinating; subsequently they have proved their worth as homemakers. With the changing passage of time they realized their significance and by breaking the shackles of society they have moved ahead. This scenario is not only prevailing in urban areas, but in rural areas too. In rural areas they have emerged as entrepreneurs thereby contributing in creating local wealth. These employments have empowered them in realizing and developing themselves, helping the groups as well as contributing in nation building. Through their various contributions they have established the fact that they are responsible citizens who are contributing in nation development and building. Their journey from dependence to independence has proved really arduous to them. They are confronted with many different forms of challenges and restrictions. It is because of their indomitable spirit they have carved their own victories for themselves. This paper is an attempt to provide the glimpses of rural women entrepreneurs' contribution in the society thereby addressing the concerned areas which are open for their development.
