Driving Change: India's CSR Evolution

In 2014, India became a trail blazer (following Mauritius) by making it a legal requirement for companies to spend a portion of their profits on activities that benefit society, known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In 2020, the Companies(Amendment) Act introduced stricter rules to ensure companies follow through on their CSR commitments. This means that companies in India must contribute to social and community causes as a part of their business responsibilities.

In India, companies often focus their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These global goals act like a roadmap for tackling important issues worldwide. Simply put, these goals help guide businesses in India to make a positive impact on various critical challenges facing our planet. It's like a shared plan that companies follow to contribute to making the world a better place.

CSR in Education: Amplifying Impact

Over 30% of the money companies set aside for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India goes towards Education, Differently Abled individuals, and Livelihood (EDL) projects. This significant investment in education happens because companies believe that building a skilled and knowledgeable society is crucial and see education as the foundation for extra support.

However, more than just providing money for education is required. It's not only about the financial help but also about actively participating and making a real difference in strengthening the education system. Companies understand that involvement goes beyond just giving money; it requires a hands-on approach to create a positive impact.

According to various surveys and studies, companies encounter the following challenges when it comes to the efficient and effective utilization of their CSR budget:

1. Fund leakage and elevated costs

2. Insufficient in-house expertise and collaboration opportunities

3. Limited capabilities for assessing impact.
