For any society and its development, social innovation is immensely critical to meet its social needs and offer solution to a social problem. We need to provide a solution that is effective, efficient, and sustainable and thereby its continuous development and sustainability. Social innovation offers a change in the way individuals or communities act to solve a problem or to generate new opportunities.
Lets discuss how social innovation can help bridge the gaps between the society, people and business? Is there any framework that can help accelerating the social innovation? What can design and designer do to trigger and direct social innovation? If there any social innovation framework specific to design and designers? How can they conceive and develop favourable contexts and enabling solutions? How can they facilitate the convergence between new technologies and emerging social & community needs? Finally, how social Innovation is helping and could help in the sustainable development.

Here, let us discuss issues such as Gender Equality, answer questions such as 'will China get old before they get rich?', and discuss how India can work towards a strong infrastructure and include more of it's population into the development arena.

India, China, Brazil, & Russia need to invest in their people's health, since these workers will then help build the wealth of these economies. Concerns such as labor laws, immunization, then form our moot point of discussion here.

Alternate energy, Low carbon emissions, & Why the BRIC's dream should be green are important aspects which need to be considered. Please let us know some of your concerns then. Offer remedies and insights, here.

To avoid crises, we need transparency in what our government decides for us, and how it affects our economies. How it affects us, the people. How can then, we, designers, and greatest champions for our fellow citizen's 'needs', make their voice be heard? Discuss, raise concerns, and offer some strategic insights.
