Abstract: Rural women entrepreneurship has been rising rapidly. More prominent businesses can be seen. Women entrepreneurs in rural areas have taken up business activities based on many driving forces. As Indian women are in no way inferior to men in all walks of life and they are as good as men in entrepreneurial skills, it is imperative to exploit the potential of Indian women. Women’s participation in trade, industry and commerce requires entrepreneurship. Studies have been done to understand the women entrepreneurs in general. Rural entrepreneurship is relatively under-researched. The present study attempts to understand the triggers and barriers to women entrepreneurs in rural areas. A sample of 280 respondents in 10 villages of Hassan and Mysore District was collected through an interview schedule. Factor analysis and ANOVA were applied to test the hypothesis.
Keywords: Women Entrepreneurs, Rural, Triggers, Barriers, Attitude Triggers and Barriers of Rural Women Entrepreneurs: An Empirical Study
