Successful social entrepreneurship in India: Does higher education matters?

Abstract

The growing discussion behind the social entrepreneurial education across the world and in India initiated the idea for this paper. Study takes into account motley of successful social entrepreneurs across the length and breadth of India on the basis of primary and secondary data available from different sources. The conclusive remark drawn by the paper is that higher education does play an important role in the creation, transformation and success of social entrepreneurs but it is not the only factor. The study limits itself it to a few numbers of social entrepreneurs due to the paucity of data as well as time and there is a scope of further research in the area of higher education for the development of social entrepreneurship in India.
