About this project

Problems of Managing Small Scale Business in the Rural Area

Objective: Investigate the challenges faced by small-scale businesses in rural India and recommend practical solutions.

Context: Rural entrepreneurs in India often struggle with resource constraints, limited market access, and operational inefficiencies, which hinder economic development and job creation. Addressing these issues is vital for inclusive growth and rural prosperity.

What you'll build: You will conduct fieldwork using surveys, interviews, and observation, analyze qualitative and quantitative data in Excel, and apply SWOT analysis to identify key problems. The project focuses on interpreting real-world data to suggest actionable improvements for rural business management.

Deliverables: You will produce a comprehensive report detailing findings, challenge analysis, and tailored recommendations for rural small-scale businesses.

Design a structured questionnaire or interview guide tailored to small-scale business owners in your chosen rural region. Include at least 10 questions covering business operations, management challenges, and support needs.

3. Data collection (on-ground or virtual)

10 marks 6d
