13 percent. Yes only 13 percent women out of the total women population are entrepreneurs today. The number is not that motivating, what do you feel? The question is can it improve? Well, yes definitely. But how? The answer to this is through more awareness. The government of India also feels that women in large numbers need to be encouraged to dream big, because the government wants them to realize those dreams. It is important that they start believing in themselves to be successful businesswomen too. They are there to back the aspiring women entrepreneurs at times of need.
While there are many schemes started by the Indian Government, the sad reality is very less number of women are actually availing the benefits of those schemes due to lack of awareness. Hence, we thought let us educate more and more women about the excellent schemes that can help the aspiring businesswomen to grow their business & take it to new heights.
