In social entrepreneurship, various social, cultural, or environmental issues are identified and addressed through conceptualizing, developing, and implementing solutions. This field, inherently non-profit and driven by altruism, measures success based on "Returns to Society," which includes outcomes such as poverty alleviation, healthcare access, community development, and women's empowerment. Social entrepreneurship is increasingly recognized for its role in promoting volunteerism and civic engagement. Though the concept has been around for nearly forty years, it has recently gained significant traction. This form of entrepreneurship is distinguished by its focus on societal benefits rather than corporate profits. The primary objective is to identify social problems, develop solutions that foster positive changes in public attitudes, enhance living standards, and safeguard opportunities for marginalized groups. Understanding how solving social issues can benefit society at large and empower disadvantaged individuals is central to social entrepreneurship. Notable figures in this field include Pakistani social reformer Akhter Hameed Khan and Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus. In India, numerous individuals and organizations are making significant contributions to social entrepreneurship, striving to uplift society and create impactful changes. This research paper explores organizations dedicated to women's empowerment through social transformation, highlighting their efforts to alleviate societal pressures and produce beneficial externalities.
