Our Assessment

On track, but not fulfilled. The promise is to provide a comprehensive package of incentives for female entrepreneurs, especially in the tourism sector. Goa Startup Policy 2025 includes a Women Entrepreneur Vitality Scheme and dedicated mentoring/funding support for women entrepreneurs. The Directorate of Industries, Trade and Commerce lists additional benefits for women entrepreneurs. In tourism, the Department of Tourism's Homestay and Bed and Breakfast Scheme is officially described as opening economic avenues and fostering women and youth entrepreneurship, and Goa Tourism's 2025 official material says Rs 2 lakh grants were given to women owners under the Homestay and B&B framework. This confirms concrete incentive and support activity for women entrepreneurs, including tourism-linked women owners, but does not prove a fully comprehensive package or a drastic increase in female workforce participation.
