In the last few decades, persons with disabilities have shown keen interest in being an entrepreneur. Their journey from being socially to economically inclusive has been challenging. A new set of challenges follows them as they direct their path towards entrepreneurship. Whether creating a new enterprise or sustaining the existing one, entrepreneurship training has helped and supported entrepreneurs in their journey. Observing the trend of entrepreneurship among persons with disabilities, many training programmes are being organised. The problem lies with the fact that we have not tried to understand their needs as an entrepreneur. Persons with disabilities have their own bunch of problems, and without understanding their side of the issues, we can never provide them with what they want. This research tries to understand what problems persons with disabilities face in the process of enterprise creation or in sustaining their enterprise and analyse whether the existing training programmes for entrepreneurs with disabilities are able to provide the required training to them.

摘要

In the last few decades, persons with disabilities have shown keen interest in being an entrepreneur. Their journey from being socially to economically inclusive has been challenging. A new set of challenges follows them as they direct their path towards entrepreneurship. Whether creating a new enterprise or sustaining the existing one, entrepreneurship training has helped and supported entrepreneurs in their journey. Observing the trend of entrepreneurship among persons with disabilities, many training programmes are being organised. The problem lies with the fact that we have not tried to understand their needs as an entrepreneur. Persons with disabilities have their own bunch of problems, and without understanding their side of the issues, we can never provide them with what they want. This research tries to understand what problems persons with disabilities face in the process of enterprise creation or in sustaining their enterprise and analyse whether the existing training programmes for entrepreneurs with disabilities are able to provide the required training to them.
