Abstract

Indigenous tribal people live close to nature and have a very basic and simple way of life. They have an incredible cultural heritage yet are socio-economically underprivileged and frequently overlooked and ignored. Thus, forming the marginalised section of the country, deprived of opportunities concerning education, occupation, healthcare, housing and even basic amenities. Tribal development is a significant component of the country's economic advancement. In comparison to tribal men, tribal women endure higher deprivations and marginalisation. Women are valuable assets concerning human resources, making substantial contributions to economic development. Moreover, entrepreneurship offers significant opportunities for individuals and the country's development. There are numerous opportunities for tribal women to start their own entrepreneurial ventures in art, crafts, doll making, bag making, domestication, etc., which are highly appreciated both within and across countries. The entrepreneurial initiative fosters financial independence for tribal women, enhances family welfare, and contributes to the broader socio-economic advancement of the nation. The current research intends to conduct a literature review on entrepreneurship concerning tribal women. Identify the significant gaps in the existing literature and suggest potential directions for future research in this field.
