Any strategy aimed at economic development will be lop sided without involving women who constitute half of the world population. Evidence has unequivocally established that entrepreneurial spirit is not a male prerogative. Women entrepreneurship has gained momentum in the last three decades with the increase in the number of women enterprises and their substantive contribution to economic growth. The industrial performance of Asia Pacific region propelled by Foreign Direct Investment technological innovations and manufactured exports has brought a wide range of economic and social opportunities to women entrepreneurs. In this dynamic world women entrepreneurs are an important part of the global quest for sustained economic development and social progress. In India though women have played a key role in the society their entrepreneurial ability has not been properly tapped due to the lower status of women in the society. It is only from the Fifth Five Year Plan (1974 78) onwards that their role has been explicitly recognised with a marked shift in the approach from women welfare to women development and empowerment. The development of women entrepreneurship has become an important aspect of our plan priorities. Several policies and programmes are being implemented for the development of women entrepreneurship in India. The present work deals with various dimensions of women entrepreneurship in India. It also explains the experience of other countries in this regard. 276 pp.
