Abstract Gender equality is one of the fundamental human rights and is an essential foundation for a prosperous, peaceful and sustainable world. Empowerment of women and girls are an essential element to wipe away gender disparity. Women at the work place has undergone a dramatic change in the last 20 years. It was studied that, five decades ago, there were only a handful of women entrepreneurs. After second world war due to industrialization, modernization and spread of women education more and more women joined into workforce. India has 63 million micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), of which around 20 % are women owned, employing 22 to 27 million people (source: www.niti.gov.in). As per census 2011, the female population in India is 48.5 % of the total population, but the percentage of women enterprise in India is only 13.72%. Despite of various initiatives by governments, there is a dominance of male in ownership of MSMEs in India. Similarly, in Odisha the percentage of women enterprise is only 11.01 % and the percentage of women enterprises in urban is 11.29 % and in rural it is 10.85 % (Economic Survey of Odisha,2014). The number of women operating business is increasing day-by-day in spite of huge obstacles faced by them that stunt the growth of their businesses. The present study is caried on to find out the various factors and problems affecting the growth of women entrepreneurship in Odisha. In order to be at par with men the women are entering into entrepreneurship owning the art and craft sector. Among different art and craft forms, especially Pattachitra has earned its name and fame not only in Odisha and India but also in international market at large. Basically, the study is carried on Pattachitra art form concentrating the Raghurajpur village of Puri district and Bhubaneswar of Khurdha district of Odisha. Field data were collected from 25 women entrepreneurs through survey cum personal interview taking into account their socio-economic condition, motivational factors and problems faced by them. The results revealed that most of them are self-motivated. Mostly are facing problems in relation to management, finance, raw-materials availability and in production and distribution of products. In spite of all these problems they are entering into entrepreneurship to minimize the gender gap.
