Socio-personal and economic profile of women entrepreneurs have a significant role to play in their empowerment. A study was conducted as part of ‘Intra Mural Research Project’ funded by Central Agricultural University in West Garo Hills district of Meghalaya. The study revealed that overall socio-personal and economic level of the respondents was medium level for 80.67% of the respondents. The correlation coefficient (r) between attitude and socio-personal and economic score of the respondents was non-significant (0.035), attitude and age was slightly significant (0.228) and non-significant association between attitude and educational level (0.0809) was found. The Chi-square test showed that age and education of the respondents were not having any significant association with their economic, social and political empowerment. However, the association of income of the respondent was significant with economic and social upliftment but non-significant with political upliftment.
