i. The researcher recommends that the Technology Incubation Centre should try more by giving the poorer and the weaker in starting the

Small Scale Business special attention so that they also can buckle up fast.

ii. Also, they should be more selfless in the rural areas because there are hidden treasures in them. Knowledge is endless and we live to learn every day. Therefore, it is recommended that the next researchers should try to improve on the research work that has been done here thus far and our educational knowledge will grow to a higher level.

iii. Government shall try and comes with many Technology Incubation Centres in other states.

iv. Government shall try the possible best they can to expand self-employment opportunities among women.

v. Therefore the researcher recommend that for forth research of this nature the scope of the study should be widened and more expertise.
