Entrepreneurial Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities
2016
Promoting entrepreneurship at the grass root level is the need of the hour, especially for the people who are so far excluded in the growth process, i.e., person with disabilities (PWDs). Basically disabled persons have been found to have an inherent quality of strong determination and the will power to withstand challenges. However, sometimes environmental aspects are not motivating or facilitating them in a proper perspective. In the case of South India, while government's pro-entrepreneurship policies, together with private sector interventions are having an impact, yet disabled persons in rural and remote south India are still constrained by societal prejudices, financial limitations, and limited entrepreneurship educational opportunities. The purpose of this study is to explore the entrepreneurial opportunities for PWDs. As such, the study addresses an important literature gap concerning differently abled entrepreneurship. This paper focuses on the role of NHFDC and Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in promoting entrepreneurship among different abled persons.
