Abstract

Women entrepreneurship is both a result of applied behavioural science as well as a normative re-educative strategy of changing. The study assumes an even greater significance in view of the current and rapid changes in the world society. In this age of economic reforms and women empowerment more and more women are entering into a variety of employment and self employment avenues or would be compelled into them. To measure the perception of women entrepreneurs about sources of finance the variables of plugging back of profits and formal education are used. Finally, the null hypothesis that sources of finance availed for women entrepreneurs are not independent of variables of location and sales promotion of women enterprises.
