Abstract
In India, it is a very usual scenario where males dominate entrepreneurial activities over the females and gender biasness still prevails in all fields of life even in this modern 21st century. But, in recent past this common scenario has changed rapidly and active participation of females have been evident in various fields of engineering, medical sciences, electronics, energy, etc. This practice remarkably increased amongst women in states like Kerala, Maharashtra and few others. While in the hilly region, major business activities have been undertaken by the women and is highly dominating in the north-eastern region of our country. Women of north-east are involved more in income generating activities than women in other parts of India. Some pockets of these north-eastern states are run only by females in the field of business. This is also reflected by the state of Mizoram in which a substantial section of entrepreneurship activity lay the hands of women and the picture is particularly dense in its state capital, Aizawl where the study of our analysis has been undertaken. However, this study also revealed some peculiar facts about gender biasness in the study area.
