They Say
Thoughts of DD speakers
"Reimagining is the order of the day. There are lots of issues for which we have to find new solutions. “How do we scale up? How do we reduce our cost? How do we provide better impact? How do we provide better bang for the buck? How do we make our people more productive? What are the new skills that required for the country?” Development Dialogues, are going to play a seminal role in making the entire field of public service, through societal partnerships, through NGOs much more effective".
N.R. Narayana MurthyInfosys
"You first collaborate with the entrepreneurs and the innovators, then with the funding agencies, then with the philanthropic foundations to reach scale and you need a lot of patient capital and you need desk beds like the Sandbox. Once you do all of that, then you parallel start building relationships with the government and the decision makers and then they will take it to the next level".
Dr. Lalitesh KatragaddaIndihood
"The Sandbox ecosystem building is really critical because many people around the world now want to invest for social change. The issue is, despite all the billions of people around the world, we don’t yet have a seriously well-balanced pipeline. And so the way we build that is to enable those young people who are looking around the world and seeing problems as solutions to be solved and finding them, supporting them, so that they build enterprises that then long term, are investible"
Jacqueline NovogratzAcumen
"I think the Deshpande Foundation has done an extraordinary contribution by coming up with the notion of Sandbox and using Hubballi and surrounding districts as live cases of the Sandbox and having very intense interaction of various initiatives, entrepreneurs, with local people, villages and so on. They are able to demonstrate how they can really move the needle in these areas and once they have this proven model, then it is very easy to replicate this and create other sandboxes elsewhere. So it is a great approach to problem solving and social development in India".
Nandan NilekaniInfosys
“1. Government is keen for various collaborations - cited the example of NRLM where multiple stakeholders and schemes converge to create impact.
2. Community participation and ownership is a very important aspect - NRLM is trying to achieve this goal.
3. Emphasised that a sense of pride must be created in the youth about the work they will be doing in the villages. Agreed with Madan in creating agrepreneurship in the village which will create this sense of pride.
4. Mentioned E M Rogers theory of diffusion to the question on why some models work briliantly in some places and why not in some villages. "
