Factors Influencing the Development of Social Entrepreneurship in BangladeshDr. Nazrul Islam
Social entrepreneurship (SE) is a contemporary phenomenon of the socioeconomic development of a country. It refers to the creation of solutions of social problems through creating innovative ideas, increasing social value, and consistently pursuing new opportunities for the benefits of the society rather than private wealth creation. The main motives of social entrepreneurship are social welfare and value creation through the display of innovativeness, leadership, and risk management of the business. The aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting the development of social entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. It illustrates the context-specific nature of the phenomenon and derives implications for fostering the social entrepreneurship as a positive force for social and economic development. Several important factors, which contribute to the success of the social entrepreneurship, are social welfare and value, non-profit motives, knowledge, skills & experiences, innovative ideas, ethics, social network, leadership, local and governmental policies, institutional support, etc.
Social enterprise is a powerful tool for generating and sustaining social value
Social innovation can be accelerated when social enterprises come together to increase the impact and effectiveness of the field
A robust social enterprise field helps high-performing social enterprises to be developed and resourced for growth and longevity
It is incumbent upon funders, investors, government and the public to encourage robust social enterprise through policies and practices that provide a supportive environment

This area demonstrates the entrepreneurial efforts undertaken to change the underprivileged
society of the world which is popularly understood by Parhalad’s Bottom of the Pyramid.
Social enterprises are innovation since some years and these are capable to work with big
issues as satisfaction of business man or organizations. Innovation is actually a high-priced
division of an organization. Innovation is not just breakthrough in space science, satellite
communication, etc. but presenting a value proposition than past; when comes the idea of
society it provides the sustainability to innovation in the future instead of striving to be right
at high cost, it will be suitable to be flexible and plural at a lower cost. Social entrepreneurs
stand at the nexus between development, business and government. They open another
markets for the bottom-of-the-pyramid, innovate programs, empower the people they serve,
multiply resources and demonstrate their tangible effects for government and other bodies to
replicate which reveal how innovation and entrepreneurship at the very heart of
economically sustainable solutions. And, is a best solution for sustainable social development.
The common future can only be achieved with a better understanding of common concerns
and shared responsibilities.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
