Social entrepreneurs play a crucial role in grassroots development by addressing social challenges through innovation, resourcefulness, and sustainable solutions. They act as catalysts for change in various sectors, including agriculture, health, education, environmental conservation, and community development. By combining entrepreneurial principles with social objectives, they create employment opportunities, improve livelihoods, and promote inclusive economic growth. This paper explores the impact of social entrepreneurs in grassroots development through case studies of K R Agro Farming and Centre for Improved Rural Health and Environmental Protection (CIRHEP). The findings highlight the significance of community engagement, sustainable practices, and innovation in driving socio-economic transformation. The study concludes that social entrepreneurs contribute significantly to rural development by fostering self-sufficiency, economic empowerment, and environmental sustainability.
