Abstract

Entrepreneurship is the process of starting a new business or enterprise. Entrepreneurs initiate change in the structure of business and society. This change is accompanied by growth and increased output, which allows more wealth to be divided between the various participants. Thus, entrepreneurship increases the national income and enhances economic development. It can be looked upon as a means of income generation and development. The role of entrepreneurship development is very important in the economic and social development of several sections of people, especially women and socially marginalized groups of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and differently-abled people. They bring economic growth to a country and society at large. Entrepreneurship development is a tool to overcome poverty, unemployment, economic underdevelopment, and social exclusion. This study analyzes the functional relationship between the residual potential of differently-abled entrepreneurs, their educational status, and entrepreneurship development.
