Abstract

This research explores how financial inclusion via the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) supports women’s entrepreneurial growth. It assesses how financial access and digital literacy influence business success through statistical methods like Chi-square, regression, ANOVA, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results show that financial inclusion greatly promotes entrepreneurial development, and digital literacy further boosts business efficiency and decision-making. Despite moderate awareness of PMMY, usage is limited by procedural hurdles. The study suggests that enhancing financial access and digital skills can significantly empower women entrepreneurs and promote inclusive economic growth.....
