        abstract = {Women entrepreneurs play a crucial role in the economic development of rural areas. However, they often face challenges in accessing finance and other necessary resources. This study explores the financial accessibility, resource availability, and institutional support for women entrepreneurs in Wayanad, Kerala. Using secondary data, the research evaluates the effectiveness of financial schemes, the role of microfinance institutions, and the influence of socio-economic factors on women's entrepreneurial success. Findings suggest that while several financial institutions offer support, bureaucratic hurdles, lack of financial literacy, and inadequate infrastructure remain major challenges. The study provides insights into policy interventions required to enhance financial inclusion for women entrepreneurs in rural regions.},
