        abstract = {This research thoroughly examines how entrepreneurship can empower women in rural areas, paying close attention to the complex aspects of both social and economic empowerment. The study was carried out with self-employed women from Palghar district, Maharashtra, involving a total of 200 respondents. Using a descriptive research approach, the investigation combines both primary and secondary data to thoroughly explore how starting and running a business can affect women's empowerment. To analyze the collected data, statistical methods like the chi-square test were used, offering a solid method for evaluating the outcomes of empowerment. This introduction prepares the way for an in-depth look at the results, highlighting the significant changes entrepreneurship can bring about and the wider effects it has on policy and practice in supporting sustainable rural growth and gender equality.},
