The communities form the foundation of the country. 70% of the workers and two thirds of the population in India live in rural areas. Rural entrepreneurs' growth has the potential to alleviate rural residents' problems with unemployment and inadequate infrastructure. One way to lessen poverty, migration, economic inequity, unemployment, and to enhance rural communities and underdeveloped regions is through rural entrepreneurship. Rural business owners are crucial to the national economy, especially for rural development. The lack of basic facilities in rural areas, a lack of education, financial difficulties, and insufficient technical and conceptual skills are only a few of the issues that rural entrepreneurs face, making it difficult to develop a rural firm. In this study, an effort has been made to look at how rural industries have performed in India over the course of ten years, from 2011–12 to 2020–21, in terms of products, sales, and employment. Therefore, this essay also makes an effort to identify issues and offer suggestions for how to resolve them.
