shares Ashoka Fellows in 95
countries on the index page
of the country they are citizen
of.
Founder
Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat
has received Ashoka Fellowship
from 2005 to 2008 for his social
enterprise which was focussing
on a portal IndianNGOs.com,
for NGOs in India since 1999.
He was and is still very few
Ashoka Fellows who got Fellowship
for their for profit organisation
because Ashoka gives fellowships
to social enterpreneurs (they
call it change agents) who are
not for profit organisations.
We know how important it is
to get Ashoka Fellowship when
you have an idea but hardly
money to support the idea with
the world.
Ashoka Fellows are doing social
work which is unrecognised even
in their country because hardly
large numbers bother about social
work in their life. They value
celebrities from films, sports,
business so much that they do
not invest their time in social
issues, NGOs, volunteering.
Of
course things must change for
goodness of earth and it is
founder's responsibility to
Brand Ashoka Fellows and many
social enterprises (for profits
or NGOs/NPOs) for the benefit
of the world.
Social
Entrepreneurship
Ashoka has pioneered the field
of social entrepreneurship,
identifying and supporting the
world’s leading social entrepreneurs
since 1980. Social entrepreneurs
are individuals with innovative
solutions to society’s most
pressing social, cultural, and
environmental challenges.
Social
entrepreneurs are ambitious
and persistent — tackling major
issues and offering new ideas
for systems-level change. They
model changemaking behavior,
and catalyze organizations and
movements where everyone can
be changemaker.
Founder Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar
Bapat is planning to invite
Ashoka Fellows from different
countries to share just 100
words on the social scenario
in their country and share it
with corporates, funding agencies,
NGOs, media and others because
world is one and must know the
problems people in this world
family. Of course, he will link
it to the Ashoka Fellow so that
anyone can contact the person
or the organisation directly.
