The development of entrepreneurship education has been an important subject for research among academics from the colonial era to post independent India. The subject of entrepreneurship has become a motivating factor for a number of reasons: Entrepreneurship education is considered as a means of stimulating stagnated economies; revitalizing developing economies and solving the unemployment problem by providing new job opportunities. SMEs play an integral role in contributing substantial contribution to the GDP. Entrepreneurship is an important element in the dynamics of national economies and it is seen as the driving engine in economic growth and job creation, the problem is that graduate youth women do not get proper awareness and encouragement to create their own jobs. Many universities worldwide have been offering entrepreneurship and small business education but the major issues at the moment include moving entrepreneurship from the business school into other disciplines such as engineering, science, arts, music, and media studies, The formulation of strategies for entrepreneurship has to be done in the light of various factors for balanced economic growth of the country. The entrepreneurs crate the self employment opportunities of nation.
