A Policy Framework for Social Entrepreneurship in India
This paper maps the nascent state of social entrepreneurship in India and proposes a policy framework to strengthen the ecosystem. It reviews current policy deficiencies and recommends institutional capacity building, fiscal incentives, legal recognition, academic integration, and ecosystem coordination to support social enterprise growth. The study aims to provide a conceptual framework for social entrepreneurship policy development in India, acknowledging its role in socio-economic development despite theoretical inconsistencies.
