Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), one of the most sophisticated, radical terms are being

treated as the determinant of corporate outlook towards society with business activities of an
organization. Corporate social responsibility is becoming a key initiative and an essential tool
in the development of third world countries throughout the globe in the world. In recent time
corporate social responsibility has got more appropriateness than profit maximization. It is a
concept whereby organizations consider the interests of society by taking responsibility for
the impact of their activities on customers, employees, shareholders, communities and the
environment in all aspects of their operations. This obligation is seen to extend beyond the
statutory obligation to comply with legislation and organizations see voluntarily taking
further steps to enhance the standard of life of employees and their families as well as of the
local community and society at large.
