Abstract

The development of female entrepreneurs who can propel social justice, creativity, and economic progress is essential to realizing the goal of Vikasith Bharat 2047, which calls for India to become a developed country. This research examines how skill-building, digital literacy, and capacity-building initiatives might enable women to break through conventional obstacles and start profitable businesses. As the economy becomes more digitalized, technology becomes a potent facilitator that gives women access to markets and business prospects. Notwithstanding progress, a number of Indian women entrepreneurs still encounter obstacles such restricted access to resources, mentoring, education, and financing. Their engagement in the formal sector is further limited by ingrained sociocultural norms and gender prejudices. Targeted initiatives are needed to improve women's digital and entrepreneurial skills in order to overcome these limitations.
The study emphasizes effective programs that support women-led enterprises, including as government efforts like Start-up India and Digital India, as well as corporate and non-governmental collaborations. Case studies show how women entrepreneurs have used digital literacy initiatives and skill-building seminars to innovate, grow their enterprises, and support national development. The significance of gender-responsive legislation, extensive mentorship programs, reasonably priced technological access, and strong market networks is emphasized in strategic suggestions. India can unleash enormous economic potential, promote inclusiveness, and create a resilient, self-sufficient country by giving priority to women-centric entrepreneurial ecosystems backed by funding and regulatory frameworks. Achieving the ambitious aim of a progressive and inclusive Vikasith Bharat by 2047 requires empowering women entrepreneurs.
