"Women are the nuclei of a nation. They are the real builder and moulder of a nation\'s destiny. The position and status of women in any society is an index of its civilisation and progress. Though more than half-a-century has passed after independence, development of women entrepreneurship has not been rapidly achieved as the other measures of development. The question arise that why is this scenario exists? Who is responsible for it? What is to be done to overcome the problems of women entrepreneurship. This edited volume relates to all the above questions and provides probable answers to them. This book also tries to make an humble effort to inculcate entrepreneurial attitude and enhancing self-employment among women with the help of innovative ideas and suggestive measures of all authors."
