Entrepreneurs play a significant role in any economy. Women entrepreneurship development is a crucial part of human resource development. In Comparison to other countries, the development of women entrepreneurship is very low in India, especially in rural areas. However, middle class women are not too eager to alter their role due to fear of social criticism. The progress is more evident amidst upper class families in urban areas. Participation and their prominence have been commendable in the country's economic growth and development. Many initiatives have been started by United Nations to promote and motivate women entrepreneurship in developing and under developed countries, such as efforts in Sub-Saharan African countries. Looking at the above opportunities, India has also supported many women entrepreneurs by providing loans and advances, helping them to establish their business, making them self- sufficient by providing vocational skills, and constructing many jobs for other women in the respective areas. This paper focuses on current status of women entrepreneurs in India. Data has been collected from number of articles, books, periodicals and websites. The present study has been an exertion to generate awareness and to understand meaning, underlying principle for diversification.
