Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

  • INTRODUCTION

India is one of the fastest and largest growing economies in the world. With the growing development, India is also flooded with various social problems such as poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, power crisis, gender bias, and many more. To sustain economic growth and to overcome the effects of development and globalization, it becomes necessary for every citizen whether individual or corporate to take the responsibility of the people, society, environment and its resources in which we reside. Here emerged the need of Corporate Social Responsiiliy. Although the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility is not new in India, however, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India notified the Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 which makes it mandatory for certain companies who fulfill the criteria as mentioned under sub-section (1) of Section 135 to comply with the provisions relevant to Corporate Social Responsibility.

The concept of CSR rests on the ideology of give and take. Companies take resources in the form of raw materials, human resources etc. from the society. By performing the task of CSR activities, the companies are giving something back to the society.
