Women empowerment involves economic and financial independence. To achieve economic and financial self-determination, they need an individualized assistance and encouragement system in the way of infrastructure such as banks, markets, as do on. Government, civil society, self help groups. Women's association, and non-goverment organization play important roles in empowering women and encouraging them to engage in economic activities such as entrepreneurship. The present study heightened that Karnataka's overall disbursement share amount in India was about 8.56 percent during 2022-23. Also, the GM category is more significant for loans obtained in the study area. However, the relationship between male and female average monthly net income in the study area is not significant, because the female category average net income is not much. Hence, more needs to be done, such as recognising certain enterprise for women only and promoting certain amounts of Mudra loans to women entrepreneurs, the government continues to assist women entrepreneurs by providing financial support in addition to other resources like counseling, training and skill development.
