Despite India's impressive economic growth over recent decades, the country continues to face challenges of poverty, illiteracy, corruption, malnutrition and terrorism. Approximately 70% of the country lives on less than U.S. $2.00 a day. Yet, India is a home to over 3 million NGOs. Many of these leaders are working tirelessly to improve the social conditions of the country.

"Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship: A Case Study of India" will challenge students to confront more advanced issues faced by today's social entrepreneurs. The field experience of the course will take students to Mumbai and India. Students will meet Social Entrepreneurs and NGOs working at all societal levels to understand grassroots' needs as well as the overall public health infrastructure in India.

Day 7: A New Day in Delhi

Aug 9th 2011

We arrived to New Delhi on Tuesday. After stepping off of SpiceJet I could already feel the difference; less noise and hotter weather. That night we went to a delicious and beautiful restaurant named: Olive Bar and Kitchen in Mehrauli, New Delhi. We had the chance to speak with Nandita Chopra, the NIH Representative to India; you could tell she was a woman of beauty and intelligence.
