CSIM Social Entrepreneurship - Class 4 & 5 !

Class 4 focussed on "Legal Aspects of managing NGO" ! Various laws and regulations regarding setting up an NGO (As a Trust,Society or Section 25 Company),handling Foreign donations ,Income tax rules etc..
Mr.Anand Kumar , CA in hyderabad lectured this course and clarified all our doubts and concerns !

Class 5 focussed on "Innovation in Social Sector".Innovation is simple if we change our mindset.We learnt several examples of powerful innovations in social sector.We had a video session on Byrraju foundation.
At the end of the session we had a small exercise.
Identify a problem in our interest area,come up with a solution and innovative steps to solve the problem within 10 minutes :) We grouped ourselves as team of 3 and presented our ideas.
Our team identified "women trafficking" as the problem and the solution we proposed was

  • Training the underprivileged girls with specific skill sets like beauty services,domestic help,baby sitting etc
  • Offer a internet website "We service at your door" which offer professional services to Urban women and take care of all her daily needs like even distributing flowers for daily prayers.
Our team won the prize(Perk Chocolate :) ) for the best innovative idea :D
