Summary:More than 1.3 billion people in the world live in extreme poverty i.e. one in every five persons (UN Report, 1997). As per the Census of India 2011, the national literacy rate, while is improving is still at 74 percent and the poverty rate is still at an alarming 32 percent. Hence as a solution, fuelling economic development should be initiated on an urgent basis. Eradicating poverty and bringing economic growth basically demand entrepreneurial interventions. Every state in India pursues policies and programmes for promoting entrepreneurship in a balanced manner.

The paper aims to analyse the regional differences in Kerala State in respect of entrepreneurship.
