Since female entrepreneurship may alleviate poverty, create jobs, and advance gender equality, it is regarded as a crucial component of economic progress in developing nations. In contrast to earlier times, women now play a significant part in entrepreneurship and contribute to global economic progress. The government is paying more and more attention to women entrepreneurs as a result of increased research, new courses, and awareness of the field's significance. As a matter of fact, the liberalisation and globalisation that have occurred in India have created a wealth of prospects for the country's economy. The paper discusses about the role of Manipuri women in society who hold quite a prominent role from ancient period. Women in the Northeast are typically shown as managing markets and conducting trade. One of the largest marketplaces in Asia that is managed and controlled by women is the Nupi-Keithel (Women's market) in Manipur. Its role as a controlling institution of women that influences and benefits the state's whole economy gives it a unique position. The paper critically analyses the financial needs, social commitments, mobility, availability of workers, difficulties in obtaining loan etc. faced by women entrepreneurs of Manipur. Their contribution toward the economic and social enlistment of family was never given consideration. The study emphasises on the need of continuous attempt to inspire, encourage, motivate and co-operate with women entrepreneurs, awareness program should be conducted on a mass scale with the intention of creating awareness among women about the various areas to conduct business. Women entrepreneurship provides effective framework for sustainable development of the country. It also helps in sustainable revitalization of GDP of a country by generating the employment.
