Social Entrepreneurship has been in our economy since historic times. They may not have been recognized properly with that term, social entrepreneurship, but what some other people from historical times had done can be considered as an action that pursue to solve social problems. Social Entrepreneurship had already been defined in several books, however, in the book, Social Entrepreneurship: What Everyone Needs to Know, social entrepreneurship had not only been defined but had also discussed the very origin of not just the term itself but as well as the actions that some people from historical times had done that can now be seen as a model or example of social entrepreneurship.

Social entrepreneurship which has been applied in so many different ways by so many different analysts that it’s depth of vast complexity is still being unraveled and it seems it is still in infancy. It is a multi-interpretable concept and although the use of the term is widespread its use is either overrated or misused. Hence, it is important to firstly understand what social entrepreneurship really is.

The two authors argue the main issue that India is continuing to face are due to the lack of concern for citizens especially for the poor citizens and women. Dreze and Sen proceed into their work as they continue to portray the way in which the citizens of India were being oppressed by the new economic and political policies. One of the issues Dreze and Sen use as an example of how India rapid economic growth is problematic is the countries lack to foster participation for economic growth. The lack of inclusion in economic growth leads to a wealth disparity between the citizens. The authors continue on depicting several other issues another one being the lack of enhancement to the standard of living despite generating economic growth from the use of public goods. The standards of living are a huge issue with India as it signals there is a large disparity within wealth. Dreze and Sen continue to document the lack of social and living standards especially in the case of education, medical care, and physical services like clean water, electricity, drainage, and sanitation. The authors proceed to make note how without a development of a social structure within India high economic growth can harm the citizens and ultimately neglect civil, political, and social rights. Dreze and Sen then

on agriculture, stresses on food self-sufficiency and employment to the rural people as the top priorities. Nevertheless, this food self-sufficiency is under strong constraints and handicaps, particularly from the massive rural population growth which consequently leading to illiteracy, ignorance, and backwardness. Besides, alarming also leading to land under cultivation is not only diminishing but also gets further fragmented, ecology degraded, infrastructural facilities do not match with the growth of rural population. This problem has been aggravated mainly by demographic pressure which leads to a large number of very small fields of the country and poor infrastructure facilities like water, electricity, transport, educational institutions, communication, health, warehousing etc. Unless these problems are strategically attended and pragmatic efforts are initiated, India, can’t flourish its rural areas and communities. Keeping these in view, the present paper tries to identify the impediments in implementing rural development programmes and pragmatic efforts to overcome them for ensuring equitable and sustainable development in rural

Poverty in rural areas of India is associated with multiple factors. Rural population is primarily depended upon agriculture. Unusual pattern of rain and low standard irrigation system severely affect the incomes of the people living in rural areas.

In this research paper, my topic involves how India's industrialization has grown immensely over the past decades. However, not many have benefited from it as rural populations have become increasingly populated due to people migrating from their homes, which would decrease unemployment and food production.

Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry - Bill Drayton, founder of Ashoka Changemakers

India is the fastest growing economy, yet it home for 1/3rd of the world’s poor1. Post liberalisation in 1991, India has registered a tremendous growth in its economy. But along with this rapid growth, there has been a significant increase in the inequalities in the distribution of wealth and income. Though cities have grown rapidly, the growth in rural areas have been rather slow or stagnant.

Over the course of a few centuries, industrialization has taken over and technology has been very adamant in the society. Although proven helpful, these advancements left us to confront an uncertain future because of the threats of environmental and economic collapse, over-population, terrorism, and diseases that was brought about by these new equipment and machines that due to irresponsible handling led to worse effects. There have been efforts by our governments and institutions that have tried to battle these problems but were just proven inadequate. The greatest irony in the world we are in right now is we have solutions to the current situation but these solutions often lead to worse problems. This is where social entrepreneurship comes in.

India is a developing country. The factors hindering development of the country are many. Some of them can be attributed to the low per capita income and larger chunk of the population living under the poverty line. India is a country with poor people but with rich natural resources. It can be said that the country’s potential is either the human resource or the natural resources are not adequately utilized to the maximum extent and that resulted in low per capita income. India is an agrarian economy. The economy is marred with unemployment and under employment. Since the economy is basically agrarian, disguised unemployment is also rampant among the farmer community.

For over three decades, India has experienced massive economic growth, and over the past five years, it has averaged an astounding 7% annual GDP growth rate. Conventional wisdom would say that this would have a deep impact on the everyday lives of Indian citizens, and it has. However, some of India’s population has received a far greater benefit than others. Even though India seems to be thriving on the surface, there are some deep seeded impediments to it maximizing its full potential and fully revolutionizing the lives of all its citizens. President Patil recognized the importance of making sure that growth not only occurred, but also that it benefitted the greatest amount of people in the process.

After three decades of quantitative control regime, development policy in India had a liberalized mold in the 1980s. Unleashing of full-fledged reform process since 1991 was followed by significant step-up in the rate of economic growth in the country. But as the evidence of unequal distribution of gains of higher growth started surfacing, the development strategy was further modified to make the growth process more inclusive. The present paper is motivated by the question whether regional disparities in development attainment in India tended to increase or decrease during these three phases of development policy in the period since 1980. The analysis has been carried out in terms of beta convergence of real per capita income of states of India. The results suggest divergence in the early years but a moderation of the divergent tendencies in the subsequent period. However a convergence process has yet to be set in motion.
