WOMEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT

                                                                                    *N.SATHIYA

                             An enterprise is an undertaking and enterpriser is one who organizes and manages it and takes risk. Initiative, risk bearing, co-ordinating of factors of production, use of innovation and provision of capital are the basic elements of entrepreneurship. Solutions, creation, processing and promotion of unit, promotional help, adequate and timely finance, sufficient market stability and intelligence are the main factors effective progress.

                        This is considered to be one of the most significant organizational changes taking place in the world today. However, though the number of women entering the managerial profession is on the increase they are still clustered in the lower levels of management and rarely obtain positions of significant corporate power. In difference countries where the entry and middle level management positions are held by a significant number of women, experience prove their effectiveness as managers.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT:

The goals of women’s empowerment are to challenge patriarchal ideology to transform the structures and institutions that reinforce and perpetuate gender discrimination and social inequality and to enable poor women to gain access to and control over both material and information resources.                         

     In operation vital and extensive employment and beneficiary oriented programmes for specific target groups like farmers, and artisans such as the:

1)      National Rural Employment Programming (NREP), the

2)      Integrated Rural Development  Programming (IRDP),the

3)      Rural landless Employment Guaranty Programming (RLEGP),the

4)      Training Scheme of Rural Youth for Self  Employment (TRYSEM)

5)      The Scheme for providing Self Employments to Educated Unemployed youth (SEEU)and

6)      Self Employment Programme for Urban Poor,(SEPUP)

    Growth for Industrialization, Urbanization, Education and Democratic system in the country the custom-bound-society of India is in the process of a change. The women are searching gainful employment in different fields. In developing countries they invariably work harden than men. They contribute to economic actively and to the welfare of society through house hold jobs, child rearing, educating children and working in the fields. In developing countries, the discrimination extends to health care, food, property and access to credit.

   Women’s organization aim at creating general awareness on the status involves roles, exception, entitlements rights and obligations etc. In many cases women are unaware of the legal rights, to take decisions and great influences by a family the dominance of the male. From 1980’s onwards, the issues raised by WOMEN IN DEVELOPMENT (WID) and, lately, GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT (GAD) approaches have acquire great importance, both for government organizations, non- government organizations and women’s organizations. While WID concentrates more on women’s economic activities.

  We need to invest in our people and, especially, improve the lives our women we need contribution from our women to attain excellence in all areas of activity. Our social and cultural attitudes neglects and marginalize women. In public, we can accept and respect women and brag about having a woman as our Prime Minister or a few women’s as Chief Ministers and Judges. But privately, the large majorities of women are sub Jud gated and dominated. They need permission from their men to occasionally visit their parents and relatives. It is estimated that 124 million women work in India (National Sample Survey Organization, 2000). This represents about 31 percent of the total work force. The Government economic survey for 2003-04 has estimated that there are 4.95 million women in the organized sector (both public and private sectors) about 18.01 percent of the total organized work force.

  Last year the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), through its women Empowerment Committee Conducted survey of white-collar in 149 member companies across different sectors and regions. The percentage of women employees in medium companies was 18 percent, large companies 4 percent. At the managerial level, the percent of women at junior level was 16 percent, middle level 4 percent, senior level 4 percent and at senior-most levels, just 1 percent. Today, to survive competition in a globalizes market, many organizations are our sourcing and contracting out their work. This certainly has created opportunities for home-based work, especially for women in sectors like textile, garments and electronics.

  The natural enterprises of Indian women can be nurtured through innovations schemes of micro-finance. The government, financial institutions and private sector can join hands to create women entrepreneurs.

CRITICISM:

Many of us agitate to ban cow and buffalo slaughter, but remain insensitive to the increasing rate of female feticide in some of the states. Women to do not educate, because the work in their, homes and kitchens. Many organizations do not have any sexual harassment policy in place and distressed women have no place to turn to. Most of the families do not equal chances to the son and daughter. Most of the women to unawareness to the society. Though 48 percent of Indians are women, they are disadvantages in everyway-in terms of literacy, labor participations and earnings. Those are un favorable family background, lack of education, dual role of women, lack of aptitudes, and training, absence of individualistic sprit, lack of freedom to choose a job according to ability, influence of sex, caste, kinship custom and family burden etc. In her childhood, she relies on her parents are elder members of family, in her adulthood she relies on her husband and in laws and again in her old age she depends on her husband and sons. The male superiority ego, complex create barrier in the pathway of success.

7)      Every family owned business need to an equal chance to their daughters.

                     (Eg.)   “Mukherjee & Sons” and

                                “Pastronjee & Sons” but also

                                “Mukherjee & Daughters” and

                    “Pastronjee & Daughters”

                The government must lead the way and corporate NGO’s and educational institutions should join in to support and work for change. Real change will come when our women are treated on par with men and given equal opportunities. Indian will be able to harness its women power and emerge as a respected nation.

No doubt, career development is a sophisticated process taking much time and efforts. This particularly concerns inexperienced, young specialists because they should have solid incentives and motivators to start their promotion at a career ladder. Arising from this, the main attributes of a successful career are diligence, persistence and strong will to achieve the highest results. In this article, we present you several preliminary steps on the way to obtaining incredible professional results. Step #1 What are you? At this stage, you should have clear understanding of your competency level. In addition, it is imperative to realize what gaps should be filled to acquire the skills needed for a future profession. Step #2 Where do you want to be? Provide a plan of how you are going to achieve the desired skills. In particular, you should single out what responsibilities and obligation you must take, and what competencies you must master. Step #3 How to get the place you are dreaming of? Once all nuances have been considered, it is obligatory to work out a consistent and detailed plan on development activities which is based on the two previous steps. In particular, the development plan should be presented in the form of a toolkit for incorporating and accumulating professional skills and training activities. Additionally, the plan should meet the objectives and principles that have previously been established. When everything is ready you should also take into consideration some peculiarities of career promotion. In particular, each person should know that career development does not always move upwards because it is sometimes necessary to step aside in order to move further. So, do not be afraid of the upcoming hindrances because they exist to cultivate person’s resistance to critical situation. This is where you gain experience!
