At a time when people at his age are focussed on career making and launching their startups, Vikash wanted to become a social entrepreneur and enable the tribal communities in eastern India as well.

How do they do it Vikash and his 78-member team risk their lives and work in tribal areas, even in Maoist-affected areas. They spread social entrepreneurship and are not deterred by several threats by Maoists. Vat Vrikshya follows four steps for development of tribal communities-research, network, educate and marketing and transparency. They begin their work by understanding the tribe’s culture, problems, community’s needs, interest and expertise, and then perform a SWOT analysis to figure out what they can offer them. Tribal women are connected with role models, such as successful women entrepreneurs from other tribal villages, enabling the creation of a market network between different tribal villages, towns and cities. Vocational training is given to tribal women based on their expertise and areas of interest. The enterprise identifies market needs by interviewing potential customers about the requirements. Results They have increased family incomes by 300% on an average and have successfully conducted hundreds of training programmes in remote areas. They are promoted agro-rural tourism, revived tribal handicrafts, gave a brand identity, promoted 570 entrepreneurs in different non-farming activities
