Abstract

Rural women entrepreneurs are a useful vehicle of growth in Mysore's economy and have the promise of creating new employment opportunities on a wide scale in the shortest possible time. Therefore their training is imperative. It was observed during the field visit that as most of the uneducated men and women were engaged in the agarbathi rolling as their means of livelihood. These workers were getting orders from manufacturers for rolling raw agarbathies. This is providing a sustainable employment to the unorganized workers in the taluk/district.
