Solar Energy Entrepreneurship for Socio-Economic Empowerment of Indian Rural Women

India faces a huge energy crisis due to its rapid urbanisation, growth of industrialisation and burgeoning population. Meeting the current and future energy demand is a herculean task for a developing country like India where majority of the energy resources depend on fossil fuels which are very scarce, in fact India possess only 1% of energy reserves of the world to cater to its 16% population of the world. This gap is wide in urban and rural as rural India lacks grid connectivity. Solar energy provides a sustainable solution to meet the rural energy needs. Rural women are empowered both socially and economically with the solar entrepreneurship thus achieving sustainable development. The current research paper focuses to study the impact of solar energy entrepreneurship on socio-economic lives on Indian rural women. The paper is based on the secondary sources of data.
