  • Social Entrepreneurship – Creating Value for the Society Dr
    Prabadevi M. N., International Journal of Advance Research, Ideas and Innovations in Technology. ISSN: 2454-132X Impact factor: 4.295 (Volume3, Issue2) Available online at www.ijariit.com Social Entrepreneurship – Creating Value for the Society Dr. M. N. Prabadevi SRM University [email protected] Abstract: Social entrepreneurship is the use of the techniques by start-up companies and other entrepreneurs to develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. This concept may be applied to a variety of organizations with different sizes, aims, and beliefs. Social Entrepreneurship is the attempt to draw upon business techniques to find solutions to social problems. Conventional entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit and return, but social entrepreneurs also take into account a positive return to society. Social entrepreneurship typically attempts to further broad social, cultural, and environmental goals often associated with the voluntary sector. At times, profit also may be a consideration for certain companies or other social enterprises. Keywords: Social Entrepreneurship, Values, Society. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Defining social entrepreneurship Social entrepreneurship refers to the practice of combining innovation, resourcefulness, and opportunity to address critical social and environmental challenges. Social entrepreneurs focus on transforming systems and practices that are the root causes of poverty, marginalization, environmental deterioration and accompanying the loss of human dignity. In so doing, they may set up for-profit or not-for-profit organizations, and in either case, their primary objective is to create sustainable systems change. The key concepts of social entrepreneurship are innovation, market orientation and systems change. 1.2 Who are Social Entrepreneurs? A social entrepreneur is a society’s change agent: pioneer of innovations that benefit humanity Social entrepreneurs are drivers of change.

  • New Oxford Social Studies for Paksitan
    NEW OXFORD SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHING GUIDE FOR PAKISTAN 3 FOURTH EDITION 5 Introduction The New Oxford Social Studies for Pakistan Fourth Edition has been revised and updated both in terms of text, illustrations, and sequence of chapters, as well as alignment to the National Curriculum of Pakistan 2006. The lessons have been grouped thematically under unit headings. The teaching guides have been redesigned to assist teachers to plan their lessons as per their class needs. Key Learning: at the beginning of each lesson provides an outline of what would be covered during the course of the lesson. Background information: is for teachers to gain knowledge about the topics in each lesson. Lesson plans provide a step-by-step guidance with clearly defined outcomes. Duration of each lesson plan is 40 minutes; however, this is flexible and teachers are encouraged to modify the duration as per their requirements. If required, teachers can utilise two periods for a single lesson plan. Outcomes identify what the students will know and be able to do by the end of the lesson. Resources are materials required in the lesson. Teachers are encouraged to arrange the required materials beforehand. In case students are to bring materials from their homes, they should be informed well ahead of time. Introduction of the lesson plan, sets forth the purpose of the lesson. In case of a new lesson, the teacher would give a brief background of the topic; while for subsequent lessons, the teacher would summarise or ask students to recap what they learnt in the previous lesson. The idea is to create a sense of anticipation in the students of what they are going to learn.

    http://www.dawn.com/2004/10/10/local1.htm 10 October 2004 Sunday 24 Shaban 1425 ISLAMABAD: Karachi under the Raj exhibition inaugurated By Our Staff Reporter KARACHI, Oct 9: The sneak preview of a major exhibition showcasing the history of Karachi from the Battle of Miani to partition was held on the lawns of Mohatta Palace on Saturday. Organized by the Mohatta Palace Museum in collaboration with the Dawn Group of Newspapers, the exhibition is titled Jewel in the Crown: Karachi under the Raj 1843 - 1947. Opening the exhibition, Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz announced a one-time grant of Rs10 million for the Mohatta Palace Museum. He observed that fund-raising was an art, and exhibition co- curator Hameed Haroon excelled in it. He also appreciated the manner in which exhibits had been put on display. The prime minister recalled that he had spent most of his youth in Karachi, adding that the city has become a bustling metropolis. Earlier, Mr Haroon recalled that the exhibition had first been held as part of Dawn's All about lifestyle show the previous year. "Judging from the response of the people of the city - 25,000 visitors in 36 hours - we decided to expand the exhibition, with an accent on the achievements of the sons of Karachi, including Sir Abdullah Haroon, the Aga Khan and Quaid-i- Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah," he said. He added that when the exhibition was formally launched after Ramazan, it would be accompanied by 24 CDs and 18 books, documenting the history of Karachi as well as the southern part of the country.
