In Kerala rural enterprises sector contributes to the process of economic growth, employment generation and balanced regional development. It has the potential to emerge as a strong, vibrant and globally competitive sector in the state’s economy. Even though there is a bright prospect for rural enterprises in the district in the context of globalization and increased government support, rural entrepreneurial activities are not thriving well and educated unemployed youth are still reluctant in taking up entrepreneurial activities of their own. A good number of such rural entrepreneurs withdraw from entrepreneurship owing to a myriad of reasons. At this juncture, the researcher tries to understand rural entrepreneurship in terms of its origin, growth and performance and to examine the entrepreneurial problems of rural entrepreneurs during the formation. The analysis and interpretation of the data collected from 270 rural enterprises brought out fruitful findings relating to rural enterprises in Ernakulum district.
