Abstract

Though entrepreneurship in any form is the foundation of economic development, social entrepreneurship provides additional benefits in the form of societal development. In developing economies like India, the growth of social entrepreneurship at a fast phase has created ample benefits for the society in the form of multiple employment opportunities, improvement in education, health, and infrastructure and so on. The government support for social entrepreneurship can be seen in the form of provision of subsidies, awards, and recognition to the social entrepreneurs to include the community in the new business plans. In this regard, the present study aims to examine the impact of social entrepreneurship in socio- economic development of rural areas in Karnataka. The researcher collected the data through a close-ended questionnaire from 321 respondents residing in the rural areas of Karnataka. The findings of the study indicate indulging social entrepreneurs' knowledge in the health and education sector can build strength within the existing system for a positive change.
