  MSME sector. 
• India is a treasure box of resources and has tremendous potential and capacity to encourage women entrepreneurs in micro and small businesses to cope with and rescue the economy.

Understanding MSME Workforce:

• In this study, we tried to touch upon and understand the following aspects of Women at MSMEs (Workplace):

1. Role of Women workforce as Executive Employees
2. Participation of women in Decision making
3. Role of Women in Managerial positions
4. Business owners' feedback on their women workforce
5. Productivity or Output of female employees for the organisation
6. Socio-economic situation of women workforce

• Industry sectors that are showing traction towards the women workforce. Besides women’s role at workplaces, we also motivate the women entrepreneurs by highlighting their success stories, by guiding the aspiring women entrepreneurs towards policies and schemes promoting women entrepreneurship.

Government’s Focus Towards Women Entrepreneurship

• The Women Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP) was launched on 8 March 2018 on the occasion of International Women’s Day as NITI Aayog's flagship initiative. WEP has pan India coverage and does not have state-specific programme/s. Registration on the portal and all subsequent services are provided free of cost for WEP users. WEP caters to both aspiring and well-established women in the space of entrepreneurship.

• Women entrepreneurship is being promoted in a big way in the Northeast and while the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) came forward to provide a Viability Fund to new startups, it has at the same time undertaken several initiatives to encourage and supplement the efforts of women Self-help groups.
• Women-led development will pave the way for Aatmanirbhar Bharat, especially in the MSME sector. India is a treasure trove of resources and has tremendous potential and capacity to encourage women entrepreneurs in micro and small businesses to help them sustain economic growth.
