When Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal returned from the U.S. recently, he boasted of a long list of foreign universities interested in setting up shop in India. But it appears that his enthusiasm is not shared by some of the world's top centres of learning.
Instead these universities would rather prefer their researchers to collaborate with their Indian counterparts. According to DNA, neither is Harvard coming, nor is George Washington University. Jim Aisner, Director of media relations at Harvard Business School (HBS) said, "HBS has only one campus and it is in Massachusetts. We have no plans to open more. However, we have research centres around the globe, including one in Mumbai. Their mission is to help HBS faculty with on-site research and course development in each of the regions served."

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to. Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now.
