Empowering Women Entrepreneurs in MSMEs: A Study of Growth, Finance, and Government Initiatives in Haryana

This paper examines the growth and performance of MSMEs with a focus on women entrepreneurs in Haryana. Using current authorities reviews and scholarly studies, it summarizes key central and state schemes that concentrate women (e.g., Mudra/PMMY, Women Entrepreneurship Platform and Haryana’s Matrushakti/Matrushakti Udyamita initiatives), highlights chronic financial obstacles confronted by using women business owners (limited collateral, informational asymmetry, limited access to formal credit and low awareness of schemes), and proposes centered measures (financial literacy, tailored credit products, credit guarantee expansion, simplified registration, and linked incubation/mentoring). The paper concludes with policy recommendations aimed at enhancing access to finance and growing the overall performance and sustainability of women-led MSMEs in Haryana.
