Innovations for social enterprises
As social entrepreneurs, these core support groups’ acts as
the change makers for addressing society’s most pressing problems
through appropriate technological interventions, seizing opportunities
to improve technology delivery systems, invent new approaches for
technology adoption at the users’ level, and provide innovative and
affordable technological solutions with strong social engineering
component for societal benefits. Improved Watermill by HESCO for
lighting and multiple usage in non-grid mountain areas, Energy Efficient
Cooking Device by TIDE, Bangalore with benefit of reduced carbon
footprints are some of the innovative technology products and services
for improving quality of life and livelihoods of rural and marginal
communities. In this process, Core groups build capacities and engage
rural youth to innovate and provide such need based services by opening
opportunities in the social enterprise domain.
