Women entrepreneurship is a new phenomenon which is recently being recognised as a full-fledged profession among women. Women are increasingly seeking entrepreneurship as an avenue for economic growth of their families as well as of nation. Women as tiny, micro and small entrepreneurs have progressively become a key element for micro finance programmes. Self-Help Groups, especially the women SHGs are acting as an effective means to provide financial services to the poor. The paper attempts to discuss about the development of women entrepreneurship through micro finance.
