Abstract: Governments all over the world including India now focus more and more on ‘Entrepreneurship’ through research innovation and empowerment. Women form a greater part of our society and are also encouraged to contribute to national development by involving themselves in mainstream economic activities. Women Entrepreneurship is a phenomenon that is getting the focus of Government, NGOs, NPOs, scholars, and other stakeholders. The reason for such interest is that it is something that is still untapped and lagging behind the event, today, especially in backward, hilly areas of the country. Garhwal Region of Uttarakhand is one such region which is our area of this research we surveyed 200 women involved in varied entrepreneurial activities. This research study and findings were aimed to identify key areas and factors involving Women’s Entrepreneurship such as opportunities involved and deterrence in entering such field and growing and thriving thereafter. Further, there are methods and initiatives proposed which would enhance such opportunities and nullify the deterrence involved.
