Entrepreneur is the person who creates profit for the social well beings. According Schumpeter, Entrepreneur is the one who makes invention and innovation. But in the present scenario the innovative nature of Dalit’s is not recognized due to discrimination on social and economic context. Entrepreneurial ability was the major factor which up grades the social and economic condition of the society. The opportunity of being Entrepreneur should be equal to all those people living in a particular society. But it was totally ignored/denied for socially deprived society. The Dalit Entrepreneur’s are facing heaps of problems like marketing, Supply of goods, financial benefits etc. In this paper a detailed case study analysis were made to exemplify the problems faced by Dalit Entrepreneur.
Review of Literature:
To make the present study in more feasible way, a review analysis also made to identify the past conditions of Dalit Entrepreneur.
Planning Commission report (2005), the study intends to provide insight into the entrepreneurial challenges among persons belonging to Scheduled Castes. It intends to study the key variables responsible for the emergence of entrepreneurship in this section of the population; the unique circumstances and conditions that SC entrepreneurs confront their level of success and the constraints or challenges that such enterprises/ entrepreneurs typically face. The study also examines the impact of Government schemes and initiatives targeted specifically for the benefit of such entrepreneurs.
Lakshmi Iyer, Tarun Khanna, and Ashutosh Varshney (2011), the study is made with comprehensive data on enterprise ownership from the Economic Censuses of 1990, 1998 and 2005. Which shows substantiate the caste differences in entrepreneurship across India. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are significantly under-represented in the ownership of enterprises and the share of the workforce employed by them. These differences are widespread across all states, have decreased very modestly between 1990 and 2005, and cannot be attributed to broad differences in access to physical or human capital.
Surinder S. Jodhka (2010) The paper focuses on self employed Dalits in business and small-scale entrepreneurship. Apart from reflecting on the consequences of expanding private sector, such as constriction of the space of historically marginalized groups in India; the paper addresses unsought questions of collective prejudice emanating from tradition which has not only crippled their prospects in the markets but are known to shape their self-image and identification. It is argued that while the available data provides broader indications of the employment patterns yet questions related to the patterns of their social and economic mobility, kinds of barriers encountered in the process of setting up their enterprises remain unanswered.
