There are plenty of schemes to help and support women entrepreneurs. These are mostly from the Government of India. A few states have also set up their own schemes. In the rural areas, Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Farmers Producers Organizations (FPOs) have been set up, which help the rural entrepreneurs.
India Women Ventures aims to bring to light to women entrepreneurs all the current schemes and programs.
