Abstract : Achieving the goals of the Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission will require empowering women in a variety of fields, including research and development, science and technology, art, culture, and literature, as well as economic and social empowerment and uplifting education. Since women make up 50% of our population, this will be especially important. The Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission's goals can be achieved and the nation's economy can grow as a result of women becoming economically empowered through women entrepreneurs. It used to be that women could only work in a few industries, like pickles and papads, but as awareness and education among women have grown over time, more and more women are now employed in a variety of non- traditional fields, including animation, travel and tourism, hardware and networking, and IT software. Based on their circumstances in the nation, women entrepreneurs must be supported and encouraged in order for the government of India to achieve its Self- Reliant India Mission. With these considerations in mind, the present study aims to examine the current state of women's entrepreneurship in India and the influence of the Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission on women entrepreneurs.

Keywords : Women Entrepreneurship, Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission, MSMEs, COVID-19 Pandemic.
