Development of Women Entrepreneurship through Swamajayanthi Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) - A Review

In India, women constitute 48.20 per cent of the total population. The role of women is most intimately related to the goal of comprehensive socio-economic development. Any development strategy which neglects the need for enhancing the role of women cannot lead to national prosperity. Women are the vital human infrastructure and their empowerment would accelerate the pace of development. Investing in women’s capabilities and empowering them in all respects is the surest way of contributing to sustainable economic growth. The development of entrepreneurship among women has become an important aspect of the overall economic development. Hence, the need for designing exclusive self-employment and other developmental programmes for promotion of women entrepreneurship was greatly stressed. The government, since independence, has been emphasising the need for development of women entrepreneurial skills and their participation in nation building. As a tool of bottom up mode of development, several self-employment and anti-poverty programmes like Pradhan Mantri Roj gar Yoj ana (P MRY), Training of Rural Youth for Self-Employment (TRYSEM), Development of Women and Children in Rural Areas (DWCRA), etc., clothed in entrepreneurial qualities were introduced and executed through government agencies. But, the government of India, after restructuring' the on-going self-employment programmes for the rural poor, viz., IRDP, TRYSEM, DWCRA., Supply of improved Toolkits to Rural Artisans (SITRA) and the Ganga Klyan Yojana (GKY), has launched a new programme known as Swamajayanthi Gram SwarozgarYojana(SGSY) with effect from 1st April 1999. it attempts to address poverty in all its dimensions through a multi-pronged strategy.
