Abstract

Entrepreneurship is contributing heavily to the growth and economic development of our country. It has not only become a lucrative career option but is also regarded as the biggest employment generator providing financial support to millions of employees. This career option has now started gaining acceptance amongst women also given the time and efforts they can put in and their pursuits and passions to do something and make a mark of their own. Women entrepreneurs are coming to the forefront and emerging as an employment generator as far as the field of entrepreneurship is concerned. Backed by the ability to judge market opportunities and growing awareness and acceptance within the society, of the importance of female education and technical expertise they are paving way to becoming budding business tycoons not only contributing to the development of economic strata of the country but also to the social upliftment. Government has realised their contribution in making India self-reliant and are in wake of providing opportunities to them by facilitating various schemes, creating financial awareness and providing them required credit support. This paper is a genuine attempt by the researcher in appraising the innumerable financial backing and support offered by various schemes which are put in place. The researcher has also thrown light over the comparative structure of the schemes available and has tried to make suggestive inclinations towards the most feasible financing option available to them.
