I guess the biggest challenge is Lack of technical knowledge /literacy, lack of Expert mentorship, poor infrastructure, no role models, and low self-esteem due to less confidence in one,s abilities. The solution lies in the establishment of selected Model villages with good infrastructures and more focused mentorship.If this village shows the best entrepreneurship development other villages will soon follow. Hibre Bazar of Maharashtra is a living example of Rural resilience and entrepreneurship. Jai Hind
