The study adopts atheoretical and descriptive approach to analyze the existing entrepreneurial scenario.Statistical evidence indicates that nearly 70–75% of the population in Beed district isdependent on agriculture, while more than 40% of rural households face seasonal incomeinstability. The findings reveal that agriculture dependency, migration, lack of infrastructure,and financial limitations hinder entrepreneurial growth.
