The Centre is working on creating a unique model whereby students will be encouraged & supported to implement their business ideas & innovations in villages & regions with socio-economic challenges.
The Centre has also adopted a village near Lucknow to pilot the model before rolling it out on a bigger scale. We already have our first budding scientist, an engineering student testing his solar power bank to light up the village streets.
One of the other projects envisaged under the model holds potential to impact 100,000 micro-entrepreneurs over a period of 10 years.
1. Providing holistic development and grooming of existing and potential leadership in social entrepreneurship sphere through partnership with our host Integral University. The jointly developed and collaboratively delivered training programs and other relevant specialisations would be offeredto current students at the university and to prospective entrepreneurs. These world class training programs combined with practical insights about the social impact will ensure that entrepreneurial endeavours can make a long lasting and highly relevant impact on society.
