The easiest way to start a social program is to have a goal in mind. To start a social entrepreneurship we must have an idea that resonates with the public and can be implemented in the tough Indian society. There may be hundreds of idea running through ones mind but to choose the best out of them is the core job.


Unifying Mission

A revolutionary change always do owes to a movement. Also a movement emerges out of a mission. And it's here only the strength of the mission derived from. The more is the number of perspectives touched by the mission, more is the strength of the movement, heavier can be the change expected. Evidently, the success probability of a movement greatly depends on the Unifying essence of the mission. Unexceptionally for every change agent, the first challenge is to tie down his desire to a set of 'Phonics' which possess extraordinary power to penetrate varied hearts.

Coping with social & Internal issues

In an Indian society we have to cope up with innumerable hardships and social issues. The idea to launch a social entrepreneurship in the rigid Indian culture is not as easy as it may seem. With a society that is filled up with some great minds and greater people to name a few Ratan Tata , Dirubhai Ambani and many more , it becomes all the more important to live up to the standards .
So the key elements are:

Prioritize  : The Indian society expects one to be a multitasker ,so we have to prioritize the stuffs we do. Just working on all the areas would do no good, instead we have to give up some fun and work for the betterment of the society and the look into solving the cause.

Peer Group : A socially active idea needs active participants. Its very important to have those people besides you who can co relate with your idea and stand with you shoulder to shoulder . These people are your backbone and you will see through success only if you have people uniting with you in your cause. So choose those who have the skills required for convincing the Indian mind set and those who can relate your idea and see it as a dream.

Balancing : It is known that a biker falls if he does not balances his ride , similarly a project needs a perfect balance. As for a student to be a change agent he/she has to maintain a balance with time , studies , research for social cause and perfect blend of resources.

 

Launching


The most important phase is to launch the program .
For the launch the most important thing is the way you present your social entrepreneurship idea within the Indian University, that makes the authorities resonate with your idea and grant you permissions to do the same.

In addition to that one will have to deal with various civic bodies for granting permissions to deal with various marketing opportunities and taking the project to greater heights.

Creating a blueprint of the idea helps a lot and thus proves to be immensely beneficial in the long run. The changing and developing India demands fast solutions and easy solutions for tough environmental and other concerning issues.

The key to success still remains hard work, proper input, selection of resources and the energy to put great efforts.
