Scoping Social Entrepreneurship in India: Organisation, Technology, and Collaboration

Abstract

We explore emerging contexts of social entrepreneurship in India. Social entrepreneurship is emerging as an important option in poverty reduction and social change wherein organizing societal responses to scenarios like entrenched deprivation, cumulative disadvantages, long extant institutional lock-in, and vulnerabilities enmeshed in social stratification, hiatus emanating from segmentation of labour market and inadequate coverage of social protection form the core of strategies/collectives/organisation. In this paper, first, drawing cues from the literature, we outline basic typology of social entrepreneurship while delineating pivotal role technology and collaboration play in social entrepreneurship. Second, we provide a glimpse of not profit organisations in India, based on the secondary data. We juxtapose select patterns from the data on non profit organisations with human development. Third, we discuss select cases of social entrepreneurship that diverge in characteristics and contexts, in particular how these initiatives work towards poverty reduction and social development.

Oxidative Coupling: A Tranquil Approach for Determination of Selexipag by Visible Spectrophotometry

“…The developed complex exhibited maximum intensity when the sequence of reagents addition was drug, MBTH and Fe +3 solutions. In spite assorted reports on this sequence, the present order was followed by earlier researchers while using Fe +3 as oxidant [5][6][7][8] . Though, the colour development was not influenced by acidity, one molar acidity was optimized to help dissolution and stabilization of Fe +3 ions.…”

“…Initial experimental verification measurements have observed nuclear reactions, specifically, the formation of deuterium due to energetic laser irradiation [14][15][16][17]. This is attributed to proton acceleration, achieving neutron transmutation from target nuclei [18].…”
