Abstract: The research paper is an exploratory and descriptive work with a realistic approach to the functioning of social entrepreneurs (SEs). SEs vigorously explore with the panacea to address the critical problems affably, by constructing systems with a solution. They persuade the specific societies to involve themselves and move in different avenues and directions. It builds a spirit of consensus to co-create value and collaborative business with a social responsibility. The analysis emphasised the scope and challenges encountered by the SEs while implementing plans for the prosperity of the society. The primary objective and focus of the research paper is to insinuate and illustrate the contributors of the social-educational entrepreneurs, for the improvement and augmentation of education. By taking a non-positivistic stance and qualitative methods the explorative insight has witnessed the real-life cases of social entrepreneurs that were embedded in them for delivering service in the field of education.

Keywords: social entrepreneurship; education; sustainable development; social issues; value co-creation.
