Recent years have seen a paradigm shift in the emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Philanthropy. The corporate legislation in India mandates that a company must spend 2% of its profits on social causes. As per the recent reports, the total corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending by the top 500 companies in the country since the applicability of mandatory CSR in 2014 is around ₹50,000 crore by March 2019.
In this context this symposium proposes to discuss the broad philosophy behind the emphasis on social responsibility and how corporate bodies are rising to the occasion to meet this need. We also wish to discuss the direction that these activities should take as well take a cue from current practices.
