The Indira Gandhi National Open University has launched an MBA programme in Social Entrepreneurship. The programme is aimed at creating capacity among students for the management of social initiatives and for the creation of entrepreneurs based on societal benefit, IGNOU Vice Chancellor VN Rajasekharan Pillai said.
"The overall aim of the programme is to create awareness among students, youth and academia on the importance of eliminating social inequities in India. There is an increasing feeling that NGOs cannot take up large scale changes," said Pillai.
The new course will be offered as collaboration between IGNOU and the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development, Madurai. Applications have been opened for the course, which will be initially offered at the IGNOU centres in Chennai and Madurai, before being expanded to other IGNOU centres the next academic year. The timing will be flexible for the students and the fee is Rs 24,000 per year.
