It aids in maintaining the economic growth process going. The economic growth of each country decides the status of its citizens. The development of the economy will remain incomplete without the development of entrepreneurs. Women are also a part of the entrepreneurship movement in the country. There is a shift in the role played by a woman in the economy. In recent decades, the study of women’s entrepreneurship has increased. Women encounter several challenges in engaging in commercial activities or conducting entrepreneurial tasks. As entrepreneurs, women confront various socio-economic and other issues. This article adds a literature review on the problems and challenges of women entrepreneurs.\u0000Design/Methodology/Approach: Literature research to examine the notion of entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurs, determinants, concerns, and challenges of women entrepreneurs.

The government takes various measures to motivate women’s entrepreneurship in the country. The work-life balance of women entrepreneurs is very challenging. Digitalization has brought challenges and opportunities to women in continuing their businesses.

To assess the existing practice of formation & contractual process of Users Committees while implementing construction projects at Khairahani Municipality Chitwan., Nepal. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was solely the project management practice of the Municipality implementing through UCs using Checklist Survey for projects with cost more than 10 laks. Data of the 33-sample site (different sectors of construction) will be collected and analyzed to obtain the significance. The information collected from the UCs members through the questionnaire and the consultations. The data were also collected from the Engineers, Sub Engineers, Planning officers, Assistant planning officer, Account Officer, Accountant, and elected representatives employed through questionnaire. All the collected data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using bars, graphs & diagrams and comparison with existing laws.\u0000Findings/Result: The UCs in the projects of Municipality was formed by the general mass meeting of local beneficiaries without political interferences or biases. For the construction projects implementation through UCs, its formation was through the participatory approach but it was not strictly followed the prevailing acts, rules, guidelines and directives to local bodies for the composition of UCs. The supervision and monitoring mechanism exists but it was not functioning as well. The projects after the work completion had been examined and cleared within the time. The ownership of the projects, O & M fund and handover of the completed projects was not clearly defined. There were very few projects implemented through UCs that have adverse environmental impact, though the environmental impact consideration should be taken. From the study it is found that both the approaches can be suitable depending on the specific conditions and requirements. Each one of them has its own merits and demerits which do not enact in all situation of rural construction work. \u0000Originality/Value: The existing practice of formation and contractual process complies with existing laws, bylaws rules, regulations, and guidelines illustrate law binding nature. \u0000Paper Type: Research paper","PeriodicalId":319077,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Technology, and Social Sciences","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126280322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
