Abstract
Base of Indian Economy is Rural India. There are many social issues which needs to be addressed. Though Indian Government is bringing many reforms, many policies but there is no optimum utilization of the same. Social entrepreneurs can play a predominant role in bringing this change in the economy by identifying the problem with a suitable solution. Through this Social Entrepreneurship and Rural Engagement programs, focus will be on guiding and supporting the students to fulfil their dreams of becoming successful entrepreneurs by framing initial action plans and put them to practice with active involvement of the student community, so that they can pursue their respective careers in entrepreneurship and also help the lesser endowed and privileged people to realize their dreams of becoming successful entrepreneurs. Secondly, this generation is very creative in resolving issues. Through this program, students would be generating opportunities themselves which can be availed by the less endowed people who have made aware and trained in particular areas of industry. Moreover, NGO’s contribution to resolving social issues will also be enhanced. Entrepreneurship-focused programs teach students crucial life skills that will help them navigate this uncertain future. These skills include problem-solving, teamwork, empathy, as well as learning to accept failure as a part of the growth process. Student entrepreneurs are creative individuals, regardless of whether they’re training to be an engineer or are performing as a stand-up comedian. Students always have a reputation for being radical, with each new generation demonstrating for the causes of the day and they proactively address real world problems by taking matters in to their own hands – and with the satisfaction of making a change themselves and bring solution. Students are strengthening energy for young entrepreneur for social enterprise.
