ABSTRACT: Development of a nation is very much dependent on the development of rural people. Today, the real problem faced by every developing country like India is the poverty. Nearly half of the available human resource in India is women. Majority of them are living in rural areas and most of them are illiterates and are below poverty line. Besides this in comparison to urban women, rural women have limited access to all kinds of resources such as education, transportation, training, financial support, availability of current information etc. but have more hidden talents, which have to be bought in to light. Hence, there is need to change their capacity to work by giving them the necessary trainings on income generating activities, bringing their talents into light, supporting them with financial facilities, giving them marketing knowledge, current information etc. which helps in increasing knowledge, enriching their skills and improve their economic status.
