The article ‘Entrepreneurial Prospects and Challenges for Women in India’ examines the initiatives and obstacles shaping women’s entrepreneurship in India, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights several government schemes, including the Prime Minister’s Rozgar Yojna, National Mission for Empowerment of Women, and Rashtriya Mahila Kosh, which provide financial support, skill development, and empowerment opportunities for women. Despite these initiatives, women entrepreneurs face challenges like limited credit access, societal norms, and disproportionate pandemic impacts. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing these barriers through effective implementation of policies and fostering a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem, essential for advancing women’s participation in the economy and achieving sustainable development goals.
