by them in dealing with family and society. Chi square test has been used for analysis of the economic
performance of the entrepreneurs. The parameters of the study include the amount of financial leverage
taken, rate of growth, their market share and the various sources of finance. Similarly, the financial
support provided by the banks & other financial agencies has also been analysed in order to get an idea
about their financing needs and fulfillment of the same.
