Abstract

Since the enactment of the Companies Act 2013, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained considerable attention in India. The key development actors in the country such as the UN, aid agencies, and international and domestic NGOs, are partnering with businesses to tackle national development challenges. The CRISIL CSR Yearbook published in March 2018 notes that ‘around 70% of the companies spent more on CSR compared with fiscal 2016’, suggesting that businesses are making unprecedented investments in CSR programmes (CRISIL Foundation, 2018). Moreover, under the private-public partnership model, they are collectively working with governments for the implementation of government-run schemes in India.
