The study aims to explore the overview of women's entrepreneurship and the challenges face by them. By synthesizing findings from multiple studies, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in the North-East, while offering recommendations for policy improvements, and increased community support. The insights from this study aim to contribute to the discourse on women's entrepreneurship and inform strategies for fostering an inclusive and supportive ecosystem for women entrepreneurs in the North-Eastern region of India.
