A new social entrepreneurship project aims to address some of India’s toughest problems by pairing up students from the University of Chicago with students and government agencies in India. The International Innovation Corps will give students a year to tackle issues that include everything from delivering potable water to the slums of Delhi to helping increase voter participation. Anup Malani, one of the founders of the International Innovation Corps, tells us what the project hopes to accomplish. (Photo: Courtesy of International Innovation Corps)
