Social Entrepreneurship is not just about an architect who works with hapless saltpan workers/ marginal salt producers and helps them get out of abject poverty; or a businessman who sets up an enterprise around the skills and resources of the poor; or even a young scientist who brings fragrance in the lives of a large number of fisher women through his innovative artificial flowers; or may be an orthopedist whose innovations in artificial limbs change the lives of millions of handicapped poor. A passion to change the world, a passion to improve the way things were happening around and a passion to ensure better accessibility of the poor to the much needed services, a passion to introduce a sustainable shift to bring about economic equilibrium. Using a market based model that does not bypass the poor; instead treats them as valuable customers and consumers and not an object of their bounty. They follow �best practices� to bring about �next practices� and have vision to change not the rules of the game but the game itself. This key-note is about the passion of these change-makers, we call Social Entrepreneurs and their Entrepreneurship.
