A STUDY ON WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS IN MADURAI REGION-WITH REFERENCE TO SMES (SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES)

Sapna Yasim, Dr. K. Sathyamoorthy

Abstract :

Women entrepreneurship has been recognised as an important source of economic growth. High potential women entrepreneurs are those who through job creation and widening of markets can boost economic growth. Women entrepreneurs create new jobs for themselves and others and also provide society with different solutions to management, organisation and business problems. There are several schemes of the government at central and state level, which provide assistance for setting up training–cum–income generating activities for needy women to make them economically independent. However, they still represent a minority of all entrepreneurs. The present study thus focuses on the economic and social aspects of women entrepreneurs.
