Being Profitable All our dealings are carried out on a sound, pragmatic andcommercial footing - Production of quality goods and atreasonable prices. We have never and nor will we in the future,accept any charity, donation, gift or grant from any quarter.

- Lijjat s Concept of Business

Grameen's central focus is to help poor borrower move out ofpoverty, not making money. Making profit is always recognisedas a necessary condition of success to show that we arecovering costs. Volume of profit is not important in Grameen inmoney-making sense, but important as an indicator of efficiency.

From Service-Learning to

Social Entrepreneurship Conventional solutions do not work=> Need to createinnovative solutions.

Problems exist because of the system=> Need for sustainable solutions to change the system.

Small, isolated efforts do not create large-scale changes=> Need to think big ; develop projects/models which canscale-up/ replicate.

Social changes also requires a change in the societal

perception about the problem, and in the policy andregulatory structure=> Advocacy is key to thesustainability of the social impact
