Centre for Social Action, CHRIST University has been practicing social entrepreneurship since the beginning by partnering with community based organizations like Self help Groups, providing seed money to start up cooperative banks in Hoskote, Kolar, Jamkhandi and Bastar. CSA also runs a waste management unit where we make recycled handmade products and are used by the students, departments and for the delegates as mementos.
Through this initiative CHRIST University influences change in communities as well as students to develop their entrepreneurship skills. We can connect with various women entrepreneurs who are running small scale businesses in rural areas and urban slums of Bangalore and help them market their products and thereby expand their business. We also aim to conduct training, and coaching for the women entrepreneurs which can enable them to develop and expand enterprises to meet local needs and help them create job opportunities.
Social Entrepreneurship cohort by Centre for Social Action will involve the CSA volunteers to expand this initiative through volunteerism by actively organizing events to promote social entrepreneurship among students and in the communities through various innovative programmes. This cohort will empower the students to work for the people coming from humble communities thereby starting an era of social businesses where they can promote sustainable products and services.
Christ University has a culture of presenting Delegates and Guest of Honors with mementos made out of eco-friendly and sustainable products. We often present them with Parivarthana handmade eco-friendly diaries, plants and many more. Social Entrepreneurship Cohort aims at expanding their product line by coming up with new innovative ideas for mementos and making sure that every Department in Christ University uses its products and mementos for honoring the Guests. This will prove to be a great opportunity not only for Parivarthana Unit but will benefit the entire University as a whole.

This event helps us empower women and foster a sense of financial independence among them. The community impact of organizing these Vegetable Stalls is that it not only serves as a catalyst for empowering women but also promotes social upliftment. The first step in creating a significant impact in the society is to actively involve the local residents, government bodies and local organizations. The Mela provides the Hoskote SHG Women with a platform to showcase their agricultural products, that is, vegetables which not only helps to boost their self-confidence but also build their business acumen and will provide them with a sense of achievement when they witness financial gains from their hard-work. With increased earnings, they will be able to support their families and break the shackles of dependency. By promoting these SHGs we also support the idea of gender equality and female entrepreneurship and challenge traditional norms revolving around it.
