Benefits Of CSR
Evolution Of CSR In IndiaPhase – 1 : In the pre Industrialization period, the main drivers of Charity were 1) Charity 2) PhilanthropyThe wealthy merchants shared their wealth by building temples, providing food during famines, etc. But with the arrival of colonial rule, the approach changed & the industrial families became strongly inclined towards economic & social considerations. Phase – 2 : During the Independence period, Mahatma Gandhi introduced the notion of trusteeship.Under his influence businesses established trusts for schools and colleges and also helped in setting up training and scientific institutions. All these were in line with Gandhi’s reforms to abolish untouchability, women empowerment & rural development.
Evolution Of CSR In IndiaPhase – 3 : CSR was influenced by the emergence of Public sector undertakings to ensure proper distribution of wealth. The policy of industrial licensing, high taxes and restrictions on the private sector resulted in corporate malpractices. Therefore there was a natural shift of expectation from the public to the private sector and their active involvement in the socio-economic growth.
Phase – 4 : Indian companies integrated CSR into a sustainable business strategy. With partial withdrawal of controls and licensing systems there was a boom in the economic growth of the country. This led to the increased momentum in industrial growth, making it possible for the companies to contribute more towards social responsibility
What started as CHARITY is now understood and accepted as RESPONSIBILITY.
