Women entrepreneurs refer to a group of women who initiate, organize and run business enterprises independently. Though all entrepreneurs face the inherent problems of business, women entrepreneurs who stand the disadvantage of being branded as weaker sex, face many additional problems. The Self Help Groups (SHGs) organized by Panchayat Unions (PU) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) play a major role in bringing rural women together, in providing them micro credit and in empowering them.
