Government plan and execute various programmes for making women empowered but in real women are not aware about such efforts or benefits. So the aim of present study is to identify the level of awareness of women about Government programme. Primary data were collected through interview schedule from six villages of Saurikh village of Kanpur district and percentage was used as statistical measure. The study show that majority of working women were more aware about programmes and considering themselves as empowered on the economic ground, while non-working women were not. The reason behind this is they were limited upto household duties and responsibilities, and they belonged to similar group. So they have no opportunity to get information about Government endeavours for their welfare. Therefore, Government should plan and execute programme in considering women and their socio-economic status and should facilitate them in every sphere of assistance.Keywords

Woman entrepreneur is a person who organizes and manages activity/organization, undertaking the risks for fulfilling some of her needs. Definitely every entrepreneur has some attributes for running an enterprise. So the aim of present study was conducted to explore entrepreneurial attributes of women entrepreneurs. Descriptive type of research design was used to study two entrepreneurial attributes namely achievement motivation and risk taking willingness of 60 women entrepreneurs running boutique/beauty parlour. For assessing achievement motivation, Thematic Apperception Test developed by Mehta (1976) was used with slight modification. Risk taking willingness was assessed with the help of six risk taking situations given by Mathai (1978). Primary data were collected through interview schedule in zones of Agra city in U.P. during 2002-2005. Percentage and co-efficient of correlation was used as a statistical measure. The study showed that majority of entrepreneurs were possessing moderate achievement motivation (51.7%) and risk taking willingness (65.00%). They started their enterprise primarily for personal achievement (35.90%) and secondly for social achievement and need for influence (20.20% each). The findings of the study are based on expressed opinions of the entrepreneurs. Hence, the objectivity would be limited to the extent of the entrepreneurs' honest opinions. In spite of these limitations, it is hoped that the findings of this study would provide a better insight in preparing the future plan for the entrepreneurship development among women.Keywords
