Strengthening Women Entrepreneurship for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

This article is based on the live project run exclusively on the marginal women who does not get supports to set up their small and micro businesses from the organised financial institutions and despite their certain specific skills, they are unable to become an entrepreneur. Though it is a known fact that women entrepreneurship must be encouraged to achieve the sustainable development goals, but the ground reality is not very encouraging as the awareness amongst the women, especially living in the marginal strata of the society. The deterrent factor is not only the finance but the women are not exposed in acquiring different skills which help them to launch a successful business venture. This article is a eye opener how a small group of women were supported and how they have emerged as a successful micro entrepreneur. If this model is adopted even by the organised financial institutions, there is no doubt that the entire world can achieve the sustainable development growth by 2030.
