Women of today have become aware of their existence, their rights and their work situation. Women, today have carved out a place for themselves in the business world. When an enterprise is established and controlled by women, it not only boosts economic growth, but also has many desirable outcomes. Jawahar Lal Nehru has remarked "when a woman moves forward, the family moves, the village moves and the nation moves." Women entrepreneurs engaged in business due to push and pull factors which encourage women to have an independent occupation and stands on their own feet. Development of women has been a policy objective of the government since independence. Until the 70s the concept of women„s development was mainly welfare oriented. In 1970s, there was a shift from welfare approach to development approach that recognized the mutually reinforcing nature of the process of development. The 80s adopted a multi-disciplinary approach with an emphasis on three core areas of health, education and employment. There are several schemes of the government at central and state level, which provide assistance for setting up training-cum-income generating activities for needy women to make them economically independent. Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) has also been implementing special schemes for women entrepreneurs. In addition to the special schemes for women entrepreneurs, various government schemes for MSMEs also provide certain special incentives and concessions for women entrepreneurs. The present paper endeavors to study the concept of women entrepreneur and discuss the trends and issues in the development of various fields. It explores the certain push and pulls factors responsible for emergence of women entrepreneurs. It also discusses in detail the aid and support provided by Indian Government for up gradation of women as Entrepreneurs. It also focuses on the problems faced by women entrepreneurs in India. It will also suggest the way of eliminating and reducing hurdles of the women entrepreneurship development in Indian Context.
