Micro-entrepreneurs

I was just reading about entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship in India. Suddenly my focus shifted to the rural India where people with their positive approach, proactive thinking and enterprise are just looking for the right kind of opportunity to improve their lives. I came across a story of a woman from an orthodox Muslim family, having six children and a husband without a job. Finally, with the help of microfinance institutions, she set up her own school bag making unit. She is now earning comfortably enough to feed her six children. With the microcredit, microfinance, various non farm sector schemes, the rural women have become micro-entrepreneurs. And then I read a about a rural business school in Maharashtra. Now the women can look forward to technical training and know how on how to start and go about their project. The efforts, the spirit and the burning desire to do something, to move ahead with fervour is all that matters.
How the old adage stands true….”where there is a will, there is a way”.
