Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its offshoot domains have now become one serious affair in India, just within seven years of it becoming a mandate in April 2014. Going beyond boardroom discussions, CSR spending in India has crossed a whopping Rs 1 lakh crore (CRISIL) milestone. Being the first country to mandate CSR, India has practically demonstrated how the large CSR funds that include the PM Cares too, expertise and resources bank has aided our fight against COVID. All stakeholders have created a conducive environment towards the common agenda of global good.
Rusen Kumar, Founder and CEO of India CSR said that for effective implementation and impact, the Government is also making frequent amendments and improvisations in CSR laws. But with these frequent changes of laws, and the need of the hour with the advent of pandemic, stakeholders, sustainability professionals often get into confusion and bereft of resources.
