The review study deals with various data for developing the entrepreneurial interventions for the rural women especially in India. The world is leading for economic developments still there are many women who haven’t got the same literacy as men as well as are far behind in labor participation and earnings. This study provides the insight of why women empowerment is the need of the hour, how SHGs and Micro enterprises have helped the women to develop globally over the time and what are the other needs that need to be tackled for smooth developments in near future. The study focuses on the facts that gender discrimination has been driven down due to women empowerment except for the poor and unprivileged households, where patriarchy still exists. Also it is shown in the study that how the empowerment of women provides them considerable status and decision making power in the family and influences their opportunities as equal to men counterparts. The opportunities in disguise and futuristic potentials have been briefly discussed that are going to affect women’s choices and abilities post Covid-19 pandemic.
