Hi Neeraj,
Thanks for your response. If you could mention specific points that may need
elaboration / clarification then I will be able to give more focused
responses. In any case I am putting down some more of my thoughts to add to
the details, if it helps.
Suggestion is based on a much broader perspective and with a long term
horizon in view. It is intended to extend enabling means of a better life to
which some of us are fortunate to have. Many organizations and individuals
are already working with that underlying objective. This suggestion is
primarily to take that effort to greater scale, and enable an / or guide
motivated individuals within our community to achieve it.
It is understandable that only a small part of the total group strength may
be looking to take up such a role / initiative, and that is why we may need
a larger gathering of aware individuals to finally have a handful of such
new leaders. It is my firm belief that even if only a small number of
individuals may be the target audience of this, it could have a significant
impact in a few years timeframe.
Since individuals come from different backgrounds and have different levels
of knowledge / awareness / expertise of various aspects of successfully
running such initiatives, if we can create a pool of mentors and guides who
are experienced in various associated fields it could be a real enabler.
Also, it would allow individuals within our community to realize a sense of
fulfilment, while generating employment, extending help to many others, and
possibly touching upon several new focus areas.
Thanks.
Alok

Dear Mr. Harish,
Here is my suggestion. This idea can be further refined by discussing with
people experienced in this area.
Topic: Social entrepreneurship in the area of accessibility / social
sensetization / counselling / rehabilitation / improving quality of life
Background:
There may be several individuals, like me, who are more than willing to
work in the social domain or possibly make it as as a key purpose in their
lives. I think that it is extremely important to help in enabling this
segment of individuals to take a significant step in overall scalability.
This could greatly enhance geographical reach as well as cater to many
more aspects.
Following points / aspects can be covered in this regard.
- Providing informational guidance regarding setting up a social
entrepreneurship venture, ongoing operations and compliance, etc.
- Creating a pool of individuals who are looking to work full time or part
time in this area and have a drive to make a positive contribution. This
can be for individuals who are looking at this as an employment
opportunity, as well as for those who see this as something much more than
employment.
- Create a pool of mentors and guides who can provide a need based
guidance during various stages of such a venture.
- Create a platform / formal or informal group where all such individuals
can connect and get started.
In many cases people may be given a generic advice of getting associated
with one of the existing organizations. While this could work for many
cases, I see following limitations in that.
- Any individual who has such an inner drive is very likely to have an
idea about what and how he / she may want to do, which may not be what the
nearby organizations may be doing.
- Geographical location of such organizations may be a limitations for
many individuals.
- Individuals who are already leading these organizations and have
established certain way of functioning may not appreciate any significant
change in it.
- Individuals would be functioning at different levels and would have
different types of expertise, which may not be satisfactorily used.
- It is not a scalable approach.
Thanks.
Alok
