Social Entrepreneurship (SE)- going beyond the buzzword! National Education Policy-2020 has given a thrust to SE and startups.
What does SE mean? If it is meant for common good of the society, how does an SE sustain itself? How do we identify the need for an SE? What are the practical tips for setting up a social venture? Are there some examples of social ventures from Indian context?
To answer above questions and more, here is a new book for you authored by us. Titled 'BITS of Social Impact', it is like a primer on Social Entrepreneurship with 25 real-life stories of founders and co-founders who have set up successful social ventures in India and overseas. These founders have pursued their chosen paths with passion.
For ease of readability, the stories of these founders and co-founders have been grouped under the following sections:
- Healthcare (Four stories of founders and co-founders)
- Education (9)
- Environment (6)
- Art and Culture (2)
- Community Transformation (4)
The book is our humble contribution to our alma-mater as it enters its diamond jubilee soon (1964-2024). The book has been dedicated to BITS Pilani and we have pledged the entire royalty from the book also to BITS Pilani.
We dedicate this book to our alma mater, BITS Pilani, for nurturing the social impact creators…
Once the book is released, do share your feedback. The book is available at Amazon both in hard copy and Kindle versions.
