CSR is an avenue for corporate entities to cultivate a culture of philanthropy which play a huge part in the functioning of our economy. The top Industries and business enterprises hold a lot of influence and power in the economy of the country; thus, they have a fundamental responsibility to contribute to social welfare in a more comprehensive manner than just token donations. Different companies have taken various approaches to implementing this CSR policy initiative in the public sphere, and their plans of actions are updated every year. For example, Mahindra and Mahindra have focused on contributing towards the development of the education sector as one of their primary goals of CSR policy. Education of the girl child, scholarships for postgraduate studies abroad and Mahindra sponsored academy schools are just a few of the projects sponsored by the Mahindra group. One aspect that often goes unnoticed is how effective private industries can be in the implementation of policy initiatives, and how it differs from traditional philanthropy. Ratan Tata perfectly puts this in context in one of his interviews, ““A lot of money is less effectively used than it could be because an organization has not done enough research. Today, a large amount of philanthropy in India is deployed in traditional forms like building a temple or a hospital. India has to move into a more sophisticated form of philanthropy that is designed to make a difference rather than building edifices”.
