Social entrepreneurship is an approach by individuals, groups, start-up companies or entrepreneurs, in which they develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. Social entrepreneurs, however, are either non-profits, or they blend for-profit goals with generating a positive ‘return to society’. Social entrepreneurship typically attempts to further broad social, cultural and environmental goals often associated with the voluntary sector in areas such as poverty alleviation, health care and community development. Again, Regional Conflict refers to any kind of disagreement or dispute or difference between ideas, preferences, interests, beliefs, philosophies, etc. of two or more states or regions or countries. In conflict regions or divided societies, social entrepreneurship can be an effective strategy for regional development if it is integrated with conflict engagement. Integrating social entrepreneurship and conflict engagement impacts regional development by redefining inter-group relationships, enhancing social networks, activating social capital, leveraging diversity and challenging existing power structures. Social entrepreneurship in conflict regions is important generally because it helps in talent utilisation, employment generation, innovation, infrastructural development, promotion of equality, sense of unity and self-dependence, utilisation of scarce resources, broadening the overall view, etc. The objectives of this descriptive study are- to illustrate the causes behind regional conflict in North-east India; to state the social entrepreneurship movement in the said region; and to analyse measures for healthy growth of social entrepreneurship movement in the region.
At the end, many suggestions have been forwarded, some of which are- all the problems that are hindering growth of social entrepreneurship in the conflict regions should be carefully analysed by all the parties concerned and the causes behind those problems must be removed or reduced. Massive infrastructural development is a must for healthy growth of social entrepreneurship. Besides, Media can help in this aspect to a great extent by giving high and wide publicity to the contributions of present social entrepreneurs in the region.
