Typical sectors of investment of social
enterprises
Affordable Healthcare: The affordable healthcare sector in India is at a
budding stage. Affordable healthcare providers bring down the cost of service
delivery through innovative operating models. In India, more than 60 per cent
of the population is in villages and small towns while 70 per cent of
medium-to-large hospitals are located in metros and large towns. In addition,
80 per cent of the demand is for primary or secondary care and only 30 per
cent of hospitals provide these. Thus availability and affordability remain a key
concern in healthcare coverage.
Affordable housing: There is a large gap in the urban housing market and it
is impossible for the economically weaker section to afford proper housing.
So, affordable housing developers‘ helps in building affordable housing by
minimizing the construction cost and completion time by creating innovative
methods as a part of social entrepreneurship in India.
Water and Sanitation: Water sector can mainly be divided into three areas:
water harvesting and storage, water supply and distribution, and piping and
waste management. Social entrepreneurs are usually concerned with
point-of-use filtration, rain-water harvesting, community water treatment, and
small-scale water networks. Usual working models for sanitation management
are household toilets, pay-and-use community toilets and ‗ecosan‘ toilets
where toilet waste is used to create biofuel.
