Making Social Entrepreneurship Trendy
On 17th of September, I was invited by Hill Top School to their Career Seminar to make a presentation on Social Entrepreneurship as a career option. The seminar was attended by over hundred school children from classes 10 onwards and their parents.
Social Entrepreneurship, by many well meaning leaders across the world is being hailed as the next big global movement. Puny though I am, I wish to state that I resonate with this conviction. So, I deeply admire the initiative taken by Mrs. Puneeta Chauhan, The Principal of Hill Top School for taking a courageous step forward and introducing children and parents to vocations that matter to society. We all know that in Jamshedpur and perhaps in most parts of India, the only careers garnering respect are medical, engineering or MBA. As a refreshing departure from this ubiquitous trend, the other career options that were included in the seminar were Human Resources, Environment and Social Work.
While making the presentation I was inspired by a statement made by Lisa, our previous intern, in one of her blogs, “It’s time to make Social Entrepreneurship Sexy” In fact I wanted to give this as the title of my post but then I dropped the idea thinking that this would be too blasphemous. The plight of Amit Trivedi scares me
If Coke advertises it’s wares and so does Nike and Apple, I do not understand why Social Entrepreneurs must be media shy or not be media savvy and trendy. Especially so, when what we advertise is concerned with most basic amenities of life like drinking water, food and education. So in the presentation I tried to make social entrepreneurship look trendy and sexy, an enticing option for young minds and not a staid and serious affair. Which does not mean that we are flippant in any sense because we grapple with some of humanity’s most pressing problems.
The presentation, being one for school kids is especially designed for people who are listening to this topic for the first time. So it is a simplistic version, which naturally sacrifices the intricacies, subtleties and subversions of this field. Please treat this as a disclaimer, in case you don’t find any profound stuff, which I reserve for practitioners of the field.
Ultimately, show this to your children
Role of youth in rural development
This document discusses the role of youth in rural development in India. It outlines that youth play an important role in many aspects of rural development, such as agriculture, small industries, skill development, education, and generating employment opportunities. Some key points made include:
- Youth can contribute to agriculture through research, use of technology, and crop production.
- They help develop skills training needed for small industries and jobs.
- Developing skills and education amongst rural populations leads to overall development.
- Youth generate employment in sectors like agriculture, industries, and small businesses.

WaterAid's aid project in Mali provides water, sanitation, and hygiene support to communities through several approaches:
1) In urban areas, communal tapstands are established and linked to main water supplies, with community members paying small fees for maintenance.
2) In rural areas, hand-dug wells are deepened, protected, and fitted with handpumps or buckets to ensure water quality.
3) Sanitation schemes include household latrines and school blocks, while hygiene education through soapmaking and handwashing promotes hygiene.
4) Revolving credit enables women to buy water carrying equipment. The project aims to help the most vulnerable groups including women, elderly,

Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHO
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work. It also highlights the findings from the Global health estimates 2021, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

The Social Entrepreneur: Bunker Roy
- 1. The Social Entrepreneur: Bunker Roy
- 2. This man in the picture on slide 1 is Bunker Roy, the founder of the Barefoot College in Tilonia Village and a social entrepreneur. The building on the right is known as the Social Work and Research Centre, set up by Roy himself. Through his college, he was able to educate the illiterate people of Tilonia Village in the aspects of not only literacy, but also skills including solar engineers, teachers, midwives, weavers, architects and doctors. The idea of “barefoot” comes from the fact that the villagers are poor and have to walk around barefoot with no money to buy shoes.
- 3. An Introduction of Bunker Roy ❖ He was born on the 2nd of April 1945, in West Bengal, currently 69 years old, as of 2014. ❖ Sanjit "Bunker" Roy is an indian social activist and entrepreneur who has assisted thousands of people in Asia and Africa in learning important technical skills and also how to harness solar power to help rural communities thrive. ❖ He had established the Social Work and Research Centre after conducting a survey of water supplies in 100 drought prone areas, which he found to be shockingly low. ❖ He had also founded the Barefoot College in 1972 which specializes in teaching illiterate women from poor villages valuable skills such as architectural design and energy sustainability.
- 4. History and Impact of Venture Bunker Roy contributed to the study and application of Science and Technology for Rural Development. As a social entrepreneur, he has helped solve global environmental issues. One way he did this was by spending US$1 million on the installment of solar panels in 20 different African villages so that they would have a renewable, sustainable source of energy. He also influenced many villagers and provided sufficient education to them, impacting the illiterate villagers powerfully.
- 5. History and Impact of Venture Ultimately, Bunker Roy allowed the villagers of Tilonia to reach the same level of literacy as us, in advanced countries. They can now obtain the benefits of the use of technology. There have been innovations such as rainwater harvesting and installing and maintaining solar panels to provide electricity for shops and houses. The knowledge of modern technology uses have improved the lives of the villagers greatly .
