contents <p class="MsoNormal"><span>This study examines the role of women entrepreneurs in the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Gaya district, Bihar. MSMEs are important for employment generation and local economic growth, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. The study is based on both primary and secondary data, where primary data were collected from 120 women entrepreneurs through a structured questionnaire. The findings show that women are mainly engaged in small-scale activities such as tailoring, food processing, retail trade, and beauty services. These enterprises contribute to household income and create employment opportunities at the local level. The study also reveals that most women entrepreneurs depend on personal savings, family support, and self-help group loans for financial resources. However, they face several challenges, including lack of finance, limited market access, inadequate training, and family responsibilities. The study concludes that women entrepreneurs play an important role in strengthening MSMEs and local development, but better financial support, skill development, and market linkages are necessary to enhance their growth and sustainability. </span></p> <p> </p>
