FINDINGS

From the foregoing analysis the following findings were extracted.

After conducting the survey, we find that most of the respondents believe that theyare facing a lot of problems regarding their entrepreneurial/self employed

activities.

After this research we have come to know that most of these women are involvedin handmade embroidery work.

According to the majority of the respondents the most important problems arefinance and then training, social support, mobility and communication

respectively.

We have also found that mostly women are not educated and this thing is creatinga lot of hindrance in the success of their business.

We also come to know that most of the businesses run by these women are notregistered and they also do not have any bank account.

We found that due to lack of awareness of these women, they are unable to availthe opportunities being provided by the govt.

We also find that these self employed women are facing a lot of socioculturalconstraints

The women entrepreneurs have to come across many hurdles during their businessgrowth.

Women today have grown in such a way that they are implied as the BreadWinners of the family.

Even in this 21st century a women needs a lots of courage and strength to proveherself in this male dominating society.


34/37

RECOMMENDATIONS

From the foregoing analysis the following recommendations can be suggested

Government should arrange exhibitions on quarterly, semiannually or annual basisto promote the work of women entrepreneurs in the Coimbatore areas as this will

provide them a platform where they can bring their work on scene.

Government should train the employees who work in the micro financialinstitutions as to how to deal with the customers and tell them the benefits of

thescheme.

Government should do extensive ad campaigns to promote the work of these

women not only within the country but also at the international level.

Awareness should be created among these women as to how they can gain successin their business by getting proper education and getting required skills.5.There

should be relaxations in the terms of micro finance so that they can easily start

their own business.

Society should not only support but also encourage such women who are source ofpride for the nation.7.Special buses should be run for females so that they do not

face any kind of problem while traveling.

The study shows that she only attracts higher middle class and higher class people.So, she should provide with a arrange of products that even middle class people

can afford.

She should highlight her qualities as an Event Manager also. She being an owner of a well established designing firm, she should consider

Interns under her sand guide them.


35/37

LIMITATIONS

The purpose of this part is just to find out the specific weaknesses that may affect the

findings of the study. During this research we face a number of problems due to which

the internal as well as external validity of our Research findings are affected.

These are as follows

1. Most of the women are not educated so they are not able to understand somequestions.

2. Some of the women of beauty parlors were not cooperative.3. The target market we are focusing is from Coimbatore areas so we have to face

some difficulties in tracing their homes.

4. Some family members of illiterate women dont allow them to meet with us.5. Due to lack of education of these women we are also facing communication

problem.

6. Due to social pressure many women know what problems they are facing but theyare not allowed to tell that.

7. We felt difficulty in operating SPSS software.8.Lab was not frequently availablewhich a main problem for us


36/37

CONCLUSION

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile". Yes. Today there is a greater

awakening among women. In education, they have not only excelled but also become top

makers. Likewise, in office and industry, many have shown brilliant results. Even in

rural India with education, women have shown better performance. Educating women is

absolutely essential in straightening her personality. The need of the hour is to provide

an opportunity in a conducive atmosphere free from gender differences. The need for

awareness motivation and courage to correct the faults of male counterparts are great

challenges today. It is, therefore, encouragement of the growing intensity of motivation

amongst educated young women for coming in the entrepreneurial stream and extends

support with scientifically designed package of the technical and financial assistance.

The non-governmental organizations have a bigger role in stimulating and nurturing the

spirit of entrepreneurship amongst women.

Towards this end, an integrated approach is necessary for making the movement

of women entrepreneurship a success. For this purpose, both the government and non-

government agencies have to play a vital role.
