SE in a Nutshell

Recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial

principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to

make social change

Targets its the underserved, neglected, or highly

disadvantaged population that lacks the financial means or

political clout to achieve the transformative benefit on its

own

Social entrepreneurs are builders of a better world

Social Enterprise

Aim is to accomplish targets that are social, environmental

as well as financial (Often referred to as the triple bottom

line)

Social enterprises are distinctive because their social or

environmental purpose remains central to their operation

system, spreading the solution,

and persuading entire

societies to take new leaps

charging station. This offers consumers savings of at least

30% over competing kerosene and diesel energy sources

Husk Power Systems

84 mini-power plants, providing electricity to over 200,000

people spread across 300 villages, and employing 350

people operating across the state of Bihar

Each plant serves around 400 households, saving 42k+ lt. of

kerosene and 18k+ lt. of diesel annually

Findings & Recommendations

The government effectiveness comes from RBI

Development values, from a political and social perspective

The awareness and commitment of society to social aspects

entrepreneurship in general

Conclusion

Social entrepreneurship gives higher priority to social value

creation by catalyzing social change and catering to social

needs than to value capture

Many consider it very difficult, if not impossible, to quantify

socio-economic, environmental and social effects
