    1. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been developing since early 1970’s in India. Philanthropy and CSR is not a novel concept for Indian Companies. Even before the introduction of any statutory guidelines, some of the Companies were discharging their Corporate Social Responsibilities by engaging themselves in socio-economic and other philanthropic activities like promoting education, contributing to the social benefits in the situations of natural calamities, and health of the common people by organizing health camps. With the passage of the Companies Act 2013, the mandate for corporate service responsibility has been formally introduced to the dash Board of the Indian Companies. The CSR mandate is an attempt to supplement the Govt. efforts of equitably delivering the benefits of the growth and to engage the corporate world with the Country’s development agenda.

It is the responsibility of the corporate entity toward the society in consideration of the support given and sacrifice made by the society.
