FACTORS AND OBSTACLES ENCOUNTERED BY FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS IN MICRO, SMALL, AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (MSMES) IN HARYANA

The present study investigates the involvement of women entrepreneurs in MSMEs in the state of Haryana. The primary focus is on the challenges encountered by these women, including restricted financial accessibility, difficult market circumstances, and inconsistent government assistance. The research assesses the impact of these characteristics on the challenges faced by female entrepreneurs through the utilization of an exploratory and quantitative methodology, which incorporates ANOVA analysis among other statistical techniques. The results demonstrate notable disparities in the challenges contingent upon the influencing elements, with statistical data substantiating the idea that financial resources, market conditions, and government backing exert a crucial influence on the entrepreneurial experience. The present study refutes the null hypothesis and provides evidence that the various factors under investigation significantly influence the obstacles encountered by female entrepreneurs in the state of Haryana.
