Abstract

From the Director General’s Desk - Escalating Entrepreneurial Propensity Among Women: with growth bouncing back, post COVID, India is being pitted as one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Growth is manifesting itself in several ways in the country. Strengthened policies, institutions, investments, well- meaning reforms, inclusive development focus - have all contributed significantly to India's growth process. Amidst varied factors, entrepreneurship, startups and innovations have been particularly stressed upon. Countries across the globe have bestowed faith in entrepreneurship and are routing this discipline creatively to modulate their economy. India is not far behind, but while the country is focussed on this mandate, it is important for it to evolve ways and means that encourage its women folk to take the lead, more often than not.
