Abstract
Self-Help Groups (SHGs) are instrumental in
fostering women's entrepreneurship in rural India by facilitating collective
efforts and financial inclusion. This research examines the primary obstacles
encountered by women entrepreneurs involved in SHGs in the Jalgaon district of
Maharashtra. The research identifies the primary challenges to entrepreneurial
success by utilizing a structured questionnaire and gathering feedback from 100
women entrepreneurs involved in SHGs. The Friedman Test applied to ranked data
indicated that the perceived effects of these challenges differ significantly. The
most notable issues identified were family and social limitations, insufficient
awareness of government programs, a lack of business and financial knowledge,
and limited access to credit. The results underscore the necessity for targeted
policy measures, improved training initiatives, and enhanced institutional
support to bolster the entrepreneurial environment for rural women.
