        abstract = {This research study delves into the domain of rural women entrepreneurship in Salem District, aiming to shed well-lit on the pertinent disputes faced by women entrepreneurs operating in rural areas. Women's participation in entrepreneurship has gained momentum in rural India, signifying their potential to drive economic growth and empower local communities. However, this entrepreneurial landscape also presents unique obstacles that demand a comprehensive understanding. The study employs qualitative research methods to gather in-depth insights into the experiences of rural women entrepreneurs. Through a purposive sampling technique, a diverse group of women entrepreneurs from various regions and industries are selected to ensure a representative study sample. Moreover, the study reveals how these challenges often intertwine, further impacting the potential for growth and sustainability. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the role of support systems and policy interventions in promoting rural women entrepreneurship. The suggestions of this study are substantial for policymakers, development practitioners, and other stakeholders. It advocates for targeted intermediations that acknowledge the specific challenges faced by rural women entrepreneurs and leverage their potential as catalysts for sustainable development.},
