ABSTRACT In last decade women have come out of their old and strict social environment and have started to work shoulder to shoulder with men but still they are lagging behind men as India is high on the gender inequality rate. It stand on the 132 out of 187 countries on the gender inequality index according to the United Nations Development Program’s Human Development Report 2013.Despite of all the inequality and disparity in India the women of the India are fighting for themselves and proving themselves in all the sectors. In this paper research is done to find out those area where there is need to pay attention for the overall development of the women entrepreneurship as well as the nation. The study is going to reveal the actual facts behind the socio economic curtains that will help us to deeply understand the actual position and efficiency of the policies of the government and the label of women entrepreneurship in India. There’s no denying the fact that Indian women have come a long way, but according to facts shown by the Sixth Economic Census by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), they still have a long way to go when it comes to matching the numbers with their male counterparts. The reason behind this gender gap in the India entrepreneurship sector is due to unequal inheritance rights for the women, family opposition, work restriction, finance problem, male dominated societies. That may be acting as a limiting their means to start-up capital and collateral. The Female Entrepreneurship Index (FEI) released in 2015 by the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Institute (GEDI) That India ranked 70 out of 77 countries. The FEI ranking is significant because it does not consider the number of women entrepreneurs, but ranks a country based on favourable conditions provides for female entrepreneurship. This paper aims to highlight the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs due to gender equalities.
