Abstract:
“Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how into fish.
They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry” — Bill Tom
Reis (1999). Social entrepreneurship is slowly becoming a key element in the
global debate over volunteering and civic responsibility. it combines a passion for
a common cause with an industry ethic and is distinct and different from other
types of business models when trying to influence today’s mission. Social
entrepreneurs focus on how to reduce or eliminate social pressures and create
innovative results or public property. This study focuses on the importance of
social entrepreneurship across different genres and its imposition concerning
other forms of entrepreneurship today. It concentrates on the emergence of social
entrepreneurship as an institutional sector in India. it explains the role of social
entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurial groups in bringing about social change.
Against this background, the researchers suggest that Indian NGOs should be
more entrepreneurial in their approach and use different strategies to advance
their mission.
