The paper also discusses the origin and evolution of social entrepreneurship in India. The paper uses data from various government, non-government and international agency sources for attaining its research objectives. The paper concludes by recommending the policy inputs in respect of social entrepreneurship for ensuring sustainable development in synchronisation with the Sustainable Development Goals.
