BACKGROUND
The evolution of corporate social responsibility in India refers to changes over time in India of the
cultural norms of corporations' engagement of corporate social responsibility (CSR), with CSR referring
to way that businesses are managed to bring about an overall positive impact on the communities,
cultures, societies and environments in which they operate. The fundamentals of CSR rest on the fact
that not only public policy but even corporate should be responsible enough to address social issues.
Thus companies should deal with the challenges and issues looked after to a certain extent by the
states.
Among other countries India has one of the oldest traditions of CSR, but CSR practices are regularly not
practiced or done only in namesake especially by MNCs with no cultural and emotional attachments to
India. Much has been done in recent years to make Indian Entrepreneurs aware of social responsibility
as an important segment of their business activity but CSR in India has yet to receive widespread
recognition. If this goal has to be realized then the CSR approach of corporate has to be in line with their
attitudes towards mainstream business- companies setting clear objectives, undertaking potential
investments, measuring and reporting performance publicly.

LAW
Under the Companies Act, 2013, any company having a net worth of rupees 500 Cr or more or a
turnover of rupees 1,000 Cr or more or a net profit of rupees 5 Cr or more should mandatorily spend at
least 2% of last 3 years average net profits on CSR activities as specified in Schedule VII of the Companies
Act, 2013 and as amended from time to time. The rules came into effect from 1 April 2014.
SEBI, as per its notification on August 13, 2012, has mentioned that enterprises are accountable to the
larger society and "adoption of responsible business practices in the interest of the social set-up and the
environment are as vital as their financial and operational performance". SEBI has mandated the
inclusion of Business Responsibility Reports as part of the annual reports of the Top 100 listed entities
1
http://www.epw.in/web-exclusives/analysis-corporate-social-responsibility-expenditure-india.html

based on market capitalization at BSE and NSE. These reports have to be made available in the websites
of the companies. For companies that do not belong to Top 100, inclusion of Business Responsibility
Reports is not mandatory, though SEBI encourages its inclusion in the annual report and website.
Out of all the companies across Europe and the Americas, approximately 70 percent report about the
Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives taken by them. Guidelines related to reporting on CSR
initiatives exist in countries like France, Australia, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Denmark.
However, with the introduction of Companies Act 2013 (hereinafter called ‘the act’) along with clause
135, India has become the first country to introduce statutory provisions with respect to Corporate
Social Responsibility.
The “National Voluntary Guidelines on Social, Environmental, and Economic Responsibilities of Business”
were a result of these discussions. After the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) ordered the
100 largest companies listed on the BSE and NSE to disclose their CSR activities along with the
percentage of after-tax profits devoted to CSR, these guidelines crystallized into rules. Passing of the
Companies Bill by the Lok-Sabha in 2012 gave CSR rules the hue of a mandate.

CURRENT SCENARIO
In the year 2003, Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection (CREP) was introduced by the
Indian government as a guideline for 17 polluting industrial sectors. There was however no real pressure
for implementation or internalization.
Analysts all around the country are estimating the amount of funds that the corporate would inject into
social development. The new regulation would mean that the top 100 companies by annual net sales in
2012 will spend Rs. 5,611 Cr on CSR activities, compared with the Rs. 1,765 Cr that they are spending
2

now, according to a March report published in Forbes India magazine. Such influx of funds would
multiply the existing reserves with NGOs, social businesses and others working with social issues. This
would not only create a huge demand for fund managers in NGOs but would also require development
of proper reporting mechanisms in order to trace the funds (given by companies to NGOs not setup by
them).
Ernst and Young, the audit and advisory company estimates that the law would cover about 3,000
companies in India and about $2 billion of expenditures on CSR activities. This implies that the scope of
Corporate Social Responsibility Consulting is bound to increase as the companies would now be required
to spend structurally on social initiatives.
There are a lot of companies in the country which report net profits of approximately 5 Cr. The clause
that binds companies with net profits of merely Rs. 5 Cr to set aside 2% of net profits could promote
window dressing of financial statements in such companies. Proper systems for fund management and
fund allocation would be required to be developed in order to ensure compliance with the 2 percent
rule. Also, proper mechanisms to gauge the effect of CSR initiatives taken by the companies need to be
devised.
"If all eligible companies spend their mandated budget this year, CSR spend is estimated to grow about
four times to USD 2.5 billion and technology companies will likely contribute about 20 per cent or more
of this," according to a report by consultancy firm BCG and Nasscom Foundation.
Analysis of CSR activities of top 100 companies shows that the mode of giving has primarily been
through NGOs and other social organizations as around 90 per cent companies are channeling their
funds through these organizations.
"While majority of companies have established in-house foundations to engage in social activities,
around 10 per cent of the organizations choose to design and execute activities directly through them,"
the report said.
Besides providing monetary assistance, companies are now also beginning to show greater degree of
involvement in social initiatives like volunteering and providing expertise on best practices to NGOs.
A sector-wise analysis shows education and healthcare have received disproportionate attention with
around 80 per cent of the companies supporting these two sectors.
Many companies are focusing on providing access to quality primary education, supporting mid-day
meals at schools as well as health check-ups or blood donation camps. Other focus areas include skills
development, women's empowerment and environment sustainability.

CHANGES IN LAW
New Delhi.
 Corporate Affairs Ministry has sought tax benefits for social welfare spending which is
compulsory for certain class of profitable entities under the new company’s law.
 Industry has been seeking tax benefits on spending towards Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) activities. Sources said the Corporate Affairs Ministry has written to the Finance Ministry
seeking tax benefits for CSR spending by companies.
 The corporate affairs ministry is launching a CSR data analytics platform to keep a close tab on
the Corporate Social Responsibility spends of companies under the new Companies Act. The
platform will analyze sectored as well as overall spending on CSR activities by companies, a
senior official said, adding that the ministry is also in the process of unveiling a database for
registered values, who will evaluate property, stocks, shares, debentures, securities, goodwill,
other assets, net worth of a company and its liabilities under the provision of the Act.
 The government has also constituted a high-level committee to suggest measures for a "proper"
assessment of CSR initiatives taken by companies.
 CSR provisions under the Companies Act of 2013 came into effect from April last year. The
performance of companies in this regard can be assessed only after the companies file their
statutory annual returns on CSR, which are due after September 2015. According to the
ministry's estimate, companies will spend around Rs 15,000 Cr on CSR activities in the year to
March 2015."Smaller firms can adopt questionable practices like tying up with NGOs run by
friends and families. All such activities will also be kept in check through data analytic
mechanism," added the official quoted above.
 The CSR data analysis platform will also have geographical location of CSR analysis and statistical
reporting.
 The ministry is developing an electronic data gathering system for creating a database of
companies. Under the new Companies Act, companies with a net worth of Rs 500 Cr or a

turnover of Rs 1,000 Cr or net profit of Rs 5 Cr need to spend at least 2 per cent of their average
net profit in the preceding three financial years on CSR activities. Schedule VII of the Act
provides a list of activities such as EWS housing, Clean India, Clean Ganga, education and health
among others that can be undertaken as CSR.

Corporate Affairs Ministry's detailed FAQs on CSR likely by August
The FAQs would help the companies to have more clarity on implementation of CSR norms and it would
put up on the Ministry website, official added. It would be prepared after compiling queries from
various quarters, including companies and industry chambers. Under the Companies Act, 2013, CSR
rules would be applicable to corporate having at least Rs 5 Cr net profits, or Rs 1,000 Cr turnover or Rs
500 Cr net worth.
Such companies would need to spend two per cent of their three-year average annual net profit on CSR
activities in each financial year, beginning 2014-15 fiscal. In case, they are unable to spend the required
amount, reasons for the same have to be given to the Ministry. Even though the CSR rules have come
into effect, many stakeholders are still seeking clarification on various aspects.
Meanwhile, the new government would take the final call on possible tax benefits for social welfare
spending by companies. The Corporate Affairs Ministry had written to the Finance Ministry pitching
for tax benefits on CSR. Industry is anticipating tax benefits for social welfare spending.
Livelihood enhancement and rural development projects, working towards protection of national
heritage, art and culture, including restoration of buildings and sites of historical importance and works

be considered as CSR activities.
Works aimed at reducing inequalities faced by socially and economically backward groups, measures for
the benefit of armed forces veterans, war widows and their dependents, setting up homes and hostels
for women and orphans, setting up of old age homes, day care centers and such other facilities for
senior citizens, among others, have also been included under the CSR ambit.

June 30, 2014, to Infosys Foundation.
The Foundation had taken up relief work at various calamity-affected areas of Tamil Nadu, Andaman
Islands, Kutch, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. It has also set up more than 50,000 school libraries across

WHERE COMPANIES STAND?

What can’t be measured can’t be improved. That was the spirit behind the effort to gather data on how
much listed firms are spending on CSR currently. It turned out to be one of the most difficult exercises
that were undertaken. Despite reaching out to them individually, the researchers realized that there are
many, even among the top 100 firms by revenue, who don’t report their CSR spends or even declare the
social causes they support. That’s because they aren’t required to do so by law. But all that will change
when the new Companies Bill (which has already been passed by the Lok Sabha) becomes a law, possibly
by the end of the year.

According to the Companies Bill, the following activities can be included in CSR: Eradication of hunger
and poverty, promotion of education and gender equality, empowerment of women, reduction in child
mortality and improvement in maternal health, combat of HIV and other diseases, environmental
sustainability, vocational training, contribution to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund or any other
fund set up by the Central or state governments, welfare of SC/STs and OBCs. The list is likely to grow as
the exact provisions of the Bill are still being debated.

Day 1: 3rd Global Conference on CSR- India 2015: 25th August
Welcome and Inauguration
Timing: 10.00-11.00 AM
The 3rd Global Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility started off with Mr. Thakur welcoming and
thanking one and all to be part of the event. He then called upon the esteem dignitaries on the dias. Mr.
Shenoy, the president of Sambhavana society was then called upon to address the audience.
Welcome Address by Mr. D. K. Shenoy, President Samabhavana

I welcome you all to the 3rd Global CSR conference. Today I will be talking on behalf of NGO’s and Civil
Society Organization’s. The 3rd Global conference on CSR that is held today is after the massive
achievement with the change in law with regarding with 2% mandate in CSR. In the era prior to
corporate taking this initiative of contributing to towards CSR, it was looked after mostly by the civil
Society, organizations like NGO’s and the Government Officials. Earlier CSR was not strategic but now it
is all focused towards strategic CSR. It is to be understood that corporates have strong financial support
and so this is the reason why 2% mandate is been given by the Law. It is very important for corporates to
act professionally in CSR. It is important to understand that civil society organizations are catalyst to
change and that no social change will happen without the civil society organizations contribution. It is
the duty of all the corporates and NGO’s to bring the under privileged to equal levels. We are all the part
of human race and we are all connected to each other.
Mr. Shenoy expressed his gratitude towards the dignitaries for taking out their valuable time and being a
part of this event. Speaking on behalf of the NGO’s and civil society, he pointed out that the NGOs are
13
facing a cash crunch. He mentioned that the CSR projects should be done more from the heart and less
from the head. He said that the corporates have every right to demand financial and accounting report
from the NGOs to aid the CSR projects. Civil Society Association (CSA) is the catalyst without which no
social change is possible.
Guest of Honour: Mrs. Deena Mehta: MD & CEO-Assistant C. Mehta Investment Intermediates Ltd
Mrs. Deena Mehta, the guest of honour spoke about literacy of woman on how National Women
Corporation can help for the same. She raised a deep concern for financial literacy. She mentioned that
the financial literacy is very low amongst the literate. Skilled development is absolutely necessary and
highlighted that the general mentality of Indian people is keeping the money in bank deposit rather than
investing it. People don’t know how to manage their money wisely. There is a lack of education and
awareness amongst people to make investments. In India, 10% of earnings earned by the people is lying
with the government thus creating financial literacy is critical. She also said that she has kept a personal
target under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) of ensuring that thousand people are
skilled and developed in 12-18 years.
Mrs. Mehta urged Dr. Chatterji to start awareness campaigns.
14
Chief Guest Shri Ashok Chhajer; Founder, Chairman and Managing Director – Arihant Superstructures
Ltd
Mr. Ashok Chajjer: Mr. Ashok said that government has done a good role to mandate CSR in corporate
companies he said very interesting point that CSR should not be taken as branding or advertising for the
corporates. Instead it must inspire us from within to help and serve the poor by providing them basic
necessity and fulfilling our duties. He also said that only if we really want to do the CSR activity will it
really work otherwise it will be just an expense for the corporates. He explained the importance of NGO
with nice phrase stating “The doer will not get that much of blessing as much as the person who is
making him do the work will get”
Key Note Speaker: Mr. Pradeep Lankapalli, Managing Director India and Global Head of
Operations Centers -Thomson Reuters
15
He expressed his gratitude towards the Sambhavana Society and mentioned that this is a great platform
where the NGO’s and Corporates can meet up to discuss the CSR. He agreed that CSR should come more
from the heart than the mind. He said that in our organization CSR is integral part and as many aspects
attached to it, it is what we can give back to the society. He mentioned that corporates can do more
when partnered with others on huge platform like this.
Ms.Annice Joseph then felicitated all the dignitaries on the Dias the Inauguration lamp was lit by all and
the Conference was initiated.
16
Walk the Talk: Dr. Bhaskar Chatterjee, DG & CEO
Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
Moderated by Ms. Annice Joseph
Timing: 11.15-12.00 PM
Q. Ms. Joseph to Dr. Chatterjee: What has been your observation in CSR? What are the positive and
negative implementations? What are some of the bottle necks and opportunities? Any recommendation
for NGO?
17
Dr. Chatterjee: He expressed his gratitude towards the Samabhavana Society for organizing this event.
He started with sharing his thoughts while drafting a piece of the legislation. In the specifics of this
legislation the idea was to move away from the traditional concept of charity to strategy concepts. The
1st part of the legislation stated that the CSR will be a continual communication of organization. The 2nd
part speaks about that you must put your money where your mouth is. The 3rd talks about what did you
spend your money on? Where? And for Whom? To this he said it is important to be clear on whom the
beneficiary is where the beneficiary is located and how much money is spend for it. This helps to be very
clear and specific and easy to trace. As this is a completely a new parameter the whole concept of CSR
has changed from within the organization to without the organization. The point that CSR is not for your
own organization and must be external to the organization gives a total new dimension to CSR. The core
business of the organisation is not consider as the part of CSR. How do you link CSR to development of
the Indian people and the under privileged for the development of the nation places a crucial role. In the
heart of Indian CSR is our Indian inclusion.
He explained the role and importance of NGO by stating that the civil society in India is big and
enormous and hence the NGO’s are brought into the picture. He stated that the original purpose of
creation of corporates is not CSR but to make profits. Hence corporates should outsource CSR through
civil society and NGO’s. The civil society acts as the connection and delivery system at ground level. The
work that the civil societies does determines the success and failure of CSR. Dr. Chatterjee said that the
heart and mind does not matter, Job has to be done anyhow.
He then highlighted the issues with the corporates and explained with the help of schedule VII and the
new CSR thematic area added. The Slum Development project was added to cater to the urban poor
which also includes `SWACHH BHARAT KOSH’ and `CLEAN GANGA FUND’. He explained why the
corporates do not come up with initiatives for the above two is because the corporates want to know
who exactly is benefited and where the money is going. Every board and company must work
backwards. He stated that it is important to show the compulsory reporting templates as a proof of CSR
activities done. It is essential for every CSR community to have this template for forming this CSR
strategy and it is also important that who signs the same. It must be signed by the CEO/ M.D/ Director/
Chairman (CSR Committee) as a responsibility lies with them. Whatever is done in CSR must be
projectified which enables two things. Firstly, the officials to monitor the progress of the project, Online
changes and correctiveness. Secondly, revaluation as to who evaluates the project. The concept of self-
evaluation is history now, as self-certification is equal to no certificates. According to him at least 10% of
the project must be evaluated by the third party and agencies as it provides true evaluation and
worthwhile feedback.
He stated that the activities undertaken by the company in pursuance of its normal course of business is
not CSR.1/4th of the companies spend more than the prescribed CSR while 2/3rd of the companies miss
their target.27% companies have spent more than the prescribed while 64% of the companies have
spent less than the prescribed CSR. He gave the example of good performers that have done
exceptionally well in the CSR. Those include VIP industries, Tech Mahindra, Reliance Industries, Marico,
UPL, and Bharat Force. While the non-spenders include Monsanto and Nil Kamal Limited.
18
Dr. Chatterjee spoke about 7 principals that was required to create an impact flow. According to him it is
important to him that all the CSR activities of the organization must go through the board. Nowadays
the pressure points for the corporates are neutralizing as protection is provided for them in the
legislature. He also spoke about the ‘Project Mode Approach’. Amongst the various initiatives taken,
IICA certified program in CSR is introduced to cater to the need for certified professionals in CSR. There
is a need to demolish the trust deficit between the corporates and the civil society.
Question & Answers:
Q. Ms. Joseph: What is that you suggest for the challenges faced by the corporates and about the trust
deficit?
Answer by Dr. Chatterjee answered that the root of the trust deficit is the way India’s development is
involved. The corporates and the NGOs haven’t worked much together. We are trying our best to put
before the corporates credible civil societies to change the current scenarios.
Q. Rita (audience) asked Dr. Chatterjee: What do you see as the trends or the focus area which are not
getting proper attention?
Answer by Dr. Chatterjee: He pointed out that mindless construction will no longer work. He explained
this with the example of construction of toilets. 1.8 Crore of the constructed toilets are not used. There
has been a saturation level and hence next year new projects will be taken up. Mindless construction
leads to wastage of public money.
Q. by Parul (audience) to Dr. Chatterjee: The biggest challenge for the grassroots level organization is to
arrange for funds and partners in not so big cities. How do we reach to the right people for the right
support?
Answer by Dr. Chatterjee: On the IICA website we have provided space to talk about ones NGO, to
advertise itself as to what projects they are doing. There is an option provided to refine searches
according to the geographical location or work wise on the website.
19
Role of BSE in CSR: Mr. Ashish Chauhan, MD & CEO-BSE
Moderated by Mr.Jasmir Thakur
Timing: 12.00-1.00 PM
He started with defining the Corporates. He explained that the corporates are not real people. They are
legal entities. The agents run the corporates and the company is owned by the stakeholders. Corporates
don’t exist on their own. Owners are different from the management. 20 years back CSR were inclined
towards the interest of the owner and the labours. But now it focuses on its stakeholders. India is the
first country which has come out with its law to mandate CSR for the corporates. India is an aspiring
country and the youngsters of the nation aspire from the corporates. BSE has started various initiatives
and have hence tied up with CII and IICA corporates to play their part to take along the people for the
growth and common good of the nation.
Q. by Mr. Jasmir Thakur to Mr. Chauhan: The NGO’s are confused as to how to reach, how to proceed
and engaged?
Answer by Mr. Chauhan: The NGO’s have to approach the companies, the MCA website provides the
details. BSE has approx. 5000 companies listed for the NGO to choose amongst them. It is important for
NGO to prove their credibility to partner with the corporates.
Q. Raj Kumar (audience) to Mr. Chauhan: BSE itself makes lot of money, what CSR activities is it doing?
Answer by Mr. Chauhan: We have a various training institutes for the students. We support the widows .
There are 4 crore widows and approximately 12 crores dependents on those widows. We had provided
them with sewing machines. Last year we did 300 courses with the Seva Bank. We have taught the 2000
20
women in Seva Bank the concept of savings. We are now also working with the government to
incorporate financial education in the syllabus. We also conduct financial Inclusion Quizzes’.
Special Session on Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyaan)

Shri. Mukesh Jain- Jt Secretary- Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, GOI.
Timing: 02.30: 03.15 PM
Mr. Mukesh Jain: We need to ignore the disable person’s incapability and just extract their strength into
the organizations. We have many live examples of disable people who have proved their worth to the
world.
When given an opportunity A lady who was physically challenged can perform in a dance reality show, a
man climbed a mountain with using only his hands, a guy drove cycle using only his one arm and one leg,
nick is a famous motivational speaker, etc. we all need to give an opportunity to many other disables on
the globe. They all have many talents hidden within them. We all need to realize and recognize those
talents.
In India, there are 2.68 crore disable people which forms only 2.5% of the total population. It is not only
the 2.68 crore people who get affected by not getting an opportunity to prove themselves, in fact it is
2.68 multiplied by 5 times (including the family members of the disables).
Accessibility is the main problem faced by the disables. Our project Sugamya Bharat Abhiyaan means
accessible to all.
If an engineer is not able to build a building accessible to the disables, if a computer screen is not
accessible to the visual impaired person, if a transport vehicle is not accessible enough for the disables
21
then my friends we must understand that all our education and knowledge has gone waste. We need to
care and think of the complete society as a whole including the disables too.
1st I would like to tell u about the built environment. We have divided the entire country as a whole into
28 cities. In every city we will make 100 such buildings which would be accessible by all. Buildings will
include all school, colleges, theatres, hospitals, government offices etc. A building should have accessible
lifts and toilet facilities. Everything should be in braille language so that it is easily accessible to the
visually impaired person too. A work place should have braille language technology so that a visually
impaired person can work there. This is the build environment I am talking about. It includes everything
from the start to end in a building i.e. the doors, lifts, etc. should be such that a disable can easily pass
through.
2nd is the transport environment. All airports, railway stations, bus stops, etc. should be accessible
enough to everybody. No railways facility except metro and its kind have the facilities for disables
accessibility. Bus stops have the symbol of wheel chair on the bus stop but a disable getting onto the bus
is still not accessible. Reaching the bus stop is a different thing and getting on the bus is a different
aspect. No airlines except INDIGO provides accessibility for wheel chairs. Transport environment is badly
inaccessible in India.
3rd we are focusing on making the information technology accessible to all. The medium for
communication is not accessible enough for the disables. Every important and public websites should be
accessible to the visually impaired people. A visually impaired person cannot access the computers
which are in jpg format or so. 33 new features need to be added to the computers to make it accessible
enough for the visually impaired. If a visually impaired person wants to use any application or website
on the computer then he is not able to unless it has those 33 features added to it. If any document
uploaded on the computer is in pdf or jpeg format then a visually impaired person cannot read it. So we
need to develop a software which converts the documents into a format which is accessible to the
visually impaired person. The important documents should also have an audio file attached to it so that
it becomes more accessible. This is just one part of information technology. 2nd major part of IT is
Television. In India no Television is accessible. Earlier Door Dharshan channel was accessible when they
used sign languages to convey messages.
It should be in such a format that deaf people can access television via sign language, visual impaired
person can access television by using the audio medium, etc. unfortunately none of our television
channels are accessible for the disables. Even the invitation cards of this event are not accessible by a
visually impaired person. We need to sensitize in each and every aspect possible. Even when messages
are conveyed all around regarding Swatch Bharat or any initiative, it is not accessible to the disables. It
needs to be in braille language too. Even the disables have the right to know things going around in the
world. Therefore even the important news channels also need to be accessible. In India we have 9.9
million employable disable people. With proper skill and development training sessions, this huge bulk
can be used as a massive work force.
22
So I requested all the states ministers to provide me at least 100 such buildings in their city which I can
make accessible for our nationwide disabled brothers and sisters. Important websites which are citizen
centric need to be in such formats which can be accessible to the disables. I have set a target of
converting 100 buildings in each of the 28 cities and 100 plus websites by July 2016. The website work is
comparatively very easy but building part is a very big challenge for us. For converting the buildings, I
first need to have a list of all the really important and necessary buildings to be converted and then I
need to get them audited. Only after that we can start with the process of making the buildings
accessible. 25% of the airports (domestic and international) need to accessible by July 2016. We have
6000 government websites which are public centric out of which 3000 need to be accessible by July
2016.
We have also included a new concept called ACCESS AUDITORS. These people will enter any building and
check the accessibility for the disables in every aspect. They have a set of things which need to a part of
every buildings. They will have checklists of the needed things. They will then issue an accessibility
certificate to the engineers and the builders of that building. It has to be an external auditor only
because an internal person of the organization will not make adequate statements or remarks.
An external auditor will compound a report as to what are the short comings in the building. As I told
about our application for the mobile phones- I will tell you how it works. Suppose I am standing in front
of a public school and I feel that it is not proper or not accessible then I can click a photograph of the
school and upload it on the application. We will then forward the photograph and details of the school
to the education ministry requesting them to take corrective measures for it as it has come up due to
public request. Been a government official, it is my job to connect the needy to the government who is
responsible to help in that specific region. We have big targets and ambitions but we are doing rigorous
hard work to achieve it. We will achieve our targets with the help of all you people. I request 2 types of
help from all of you. As maximum people present over here are NGO’s, I am addressing this message to
them. Please create an awareness about this cause and also try to get support and funds for this cause.
A positive change that I have seen now is that the youth is really coming forward to be a part of CSR and
do social causes awareness. I request all the students from IIT present here to kindly work and develop a
software for the computers and transport environment so that it becomes accessible to the disables.
Question from the audience: I am working in an NGO in a rural area in Bhavnagar Gujarat. There the
schools are not accessible for the disables. Can you please help us with that?
Answer: Yes we are rigorously coordinating with the central government for making all the schools and
colleges accessible on a prior basis because schools are our major priority. We are also coordinating with
the health minister to make all the schools and colleges, hospitals, public places, etc. hygienic for the
students. We are also looking forward for accessible tourism in India. But then again I would like to
mention that the schools are our major and highest priority. Funding all the schools would not be
possible for us and so kindly approach all the possible NGO’s who are working on projects related to
these issues.

Panel 1:
Role of government industry bodies in the changing paradigm of CSR in India.
Panelists: Mr. Praveen Chakravarthy- Sanmaan Project- BSE-CII-IICA, Ms. Madhulika Gupta- Indo
Merchant American Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Pushpa Aman Singh- Guide Star India.
Moderator: Mr. Noshir Dadrawala- CEO- CAP
Timing: 1.45- 2.30 PM
Mr. Noshir Dadrawala: I have always seen more NGO’s in such conferences compared to Corporates.
Talking about % of amount spent towards CSR by the corporates, are all lies. It is very easy to say 3% or
4% but there is no independent audit about the spending’s towards CSR. This is not how we NGO’s
operate. I have always heard that we NGO’s are not professionals and corporates are very professional. I
don’t understand why. 90% of the people in my kind of work are from the past 3 decades. My
engagement with the corporates is just 10% of my work. Somebody just said that there were no
contributions from the TATA Trust. Let me tell u people that one of the Trust from TATA had contributed
around 450 crores towards CSR which is almost a budget of a large PSU. So these %, figures and statistics
are all lies for me. We NGO’s need to only raise the bar is all that I want to say. I call NGO as an industry
because we have targets, we employee people, etc.
Ms. Pushpa Singh: Those were really strong words Noshir. Thank you. It is a crucial time now as
corporates and NGO need to start working together as a team. We were working without the limelight
24
for years in villages where there were no electricity. We represent the NGO’s in my many rooms and
many meetings and conferences like today.
I am glad that I am sitting beside Mr. Praveen who is from the corporate (BSE). It is always the same that
only the top 100 corporates or only top 100 NGO’s are in the limelight and the rest are ignored and
looked away from. It is always a query among the corporates that how do we know that our funds are
been utilized for the correct purpose or not. There are many communication issues between the
corporates, NGO’s and the needy people. We need to bridge that gap in order to uplift the needy and
get them to equal levels. We need a common platform for all to come and connect to each other. We
are working on this from the past 5 years. In order to connect with the other party, we organize the
details and information on the common platform and also verify and certify the organizations on board.
We organize all the project information and when somebody wants to reach out to them then we
connect them to each other. We organize the data and projects not only for the organizations or NGO’s
to see but also for a common viewer to understand the efforts taken behind any specific project,
whether they met the objectives and we also track the progress.
Mr. Noshir Dadrawala: the term sanitize the NGO’s is very wrong. It is irrelevant to go check with the
income tax departments or anybody about our authenticity or honesty. It’s really very disgusting.
Ms. Pushpa Singh: the main point is that whether it is a NGO or a corporate, the main purpose should be
betterment of the society. We all are a part of the same industry.
Mr. Noshir Dadrawala: Everybody provides a platform to the NGO’s whether Pushpa or Sangeeta, CSR
hub, etc. tell me from your experience how many of these partnerships have really happened. You are
making a bench for the NGO’s to join in but do you really think such a thing can happen?
Ms.Pushpa: I am not making a pitch here. That is not the main idea but it is really that companies
wanted a forum from here so we are opening to the NGO’s an idea and even NGO’s are a part of the
industry with the new regulatory scenario. And yes about the partnerships between corporates and
NGO’s, I know of 5.
Mr. Chakravarthy: actually I wanted to tell all of you that today here also the corporates and NGO’s are
sitting on the opposite sides of the rows. We need to build a bridge to fill in this gap and think of the
betterment of the society together.
The Bombay Stock Exchange and The CII are coming together to take an initiative to build a platform for
SAMAAN. The idea is very simple that as earlier somebody spoke about the statistics that are lies, but
the data is very clear that both corporates and NGO’s need money. The whole idea was that can CSR be
done as a transparent act. I would again like to mention that we all are not here to play god, so it is not
our thing to say whether this is a good NGO or a bad NGO, this is a good project or a bad project, this
created a social impact or this did not create a social impact, etc. So now it needs to be transparent as to
which corporate has donated how much amount to a NGO, what impact and then let people decide
25
what is good and what is not good. So this is the transparent thing which SAMAAN will bring in. We
intend to build a trust among the society and be the very transparent platform for interaction.
Mr. Noshir Dadrawala: I am very happy with your statement that we are not here to play god and
maintain a transparency. You know this is the kind of panel you will want to talk to till tomorrow
morning but I noticed one thing that very little time is been given to the audience to interact with the
panel.
Q. I was earlier working with an NGO and now I work for corporates. I am so sorry to hear that people
sitting in the panel on the dice have such image about the corporates. Before CSR also corporates were
working towards the betterment of the society. We all have mentioned rightly that yes there is gap
between the corporates and NGO that needs to be bridged but we need a very positive approach
towards it. Guide star, SAMAAN, etc. are working towards it.
Mr. Noshir Dadrawala: I have heard corporates always saying that NGO’s are not professional. Anyways
that’s not an issue. We need to be positive and move forward towards our objectives.
Panel 2: Pre and Post Mandatory CSR Era – Experience & CSR Best practices
Panelists: Ms. Meena Raghunath- Director Community outreach, GMR Foundation, Mr. Ravi Nayse,
GM- SEDI (Skill and Entrepreneurship Development Institutes)- Ambuja Cement, Mr. P.K.Joseph-
Director- DLF Foundation, Ms. Rita Soni- Advisor- NextGen.
Moderator: Mr. Neeraj Lal- Arvind Mills
Timing: 03.30-04.30 PM
26
Mr. Neeraj: Entire day we have been hearing about many various topics. Before I started working with
Arvind mills, I was working with an NGO. I started working with this corporate because I was getting a
chance to create a new foundation. We are not from Mars. Even we have worked from grass roots. But
due to some reasons people have started differentiating between corporates and NGO’s. This is a very
good initiative by Samabhavana and they deserve a big round of applause. I would request the panel to
introduce themselves and the initiatives they have taken up for CSR. I would also like to know whether
what can be the chances of partnership between the NGO’s and the corporates. It is exactly one year
since the law was enforced for CSR. Corporates are working independently into CSR and also in
partnership with the NGOs.
Ms. Meena Raghunath: Pre and Post mandatory CSR Era for me are the same. It’s only now that we have
to report whatever we are doing towards CSR. Just a change in normal structure and more levels of the
organization will be involved for permissions. Infrastructure is different than I.T sectors. CSR policies in
both should be different. I wish to do more than improving just lives of the people but also empower
them. We work essentially for health, education and livelihood.
CSR is the most spoken topic today. We used to previously also work with same enthusiasm towards
CSR. We also work towards employment of young girls and boys. We should focus more on Public and
Private Corporates partnership also with the NGOs.
Mr. Ravi Nayse: we have our presence in 22 locations within 12 states in India. Whichever areas we have
presence, we work for the development of the villages around it. We have covered 800 villages in
overall 22 locations. We take this initiative with the support and partnership of civil society
organizations. Government also helps us in our initiatives. 25% of our resources are actually utilized
towards these CSR activities. It is a very capital intensive activity. We have professionals doing these
activities for CSR. Our main focus in CSR is social development. We have anger management programs,
labor training, water resourcing, etc. the amount of water that a village collects through water
harvesting in a year, we generate 4 times more compared to them. Then we have a setup in Gujarat
which works for development of 250-300 villages. Their main focus is on extension of Agriculture scope
and practices and water management practices, latent techniques of cultivating Cotton, health camps
and diagnostic centers, control on infant mortality, etc.
Mr. P.K.Joseph: DLF is into CSR since a long time. I go back to year 1962 when we started our initiatives
for CSR. From 1962 to 1982, we have been into educational and community development activities.
Then in 1988 we set up a CSR foundation. We need to do strategic CSR now. We need to create impact
on the society. Then we launched a wide range of CSR activities. We thought of creating modern
villages. If roads were better than mobility would happen and people would get employment
opportunities in the nearby cities too. Then we had an initiative of SWAACH HARYAANA. Main focus was
on sanitation and hygienic factors. Nurturing talent program was our next focus. We selected bright
under privileged students and put them into nearby good private schools. We have 875 students
enrolled till date.

Panel 3: D & I and CSR merging possibilities.
Panelists: col. K. C. Menon- ITC Hotel, Ms. Varsha Awadhany- HP, Ms. Geetha Prasanna- IBM (via
skype)
Moderator: Ms. Abha Saxena- Founder- Social Equity.
Timing: 5:00-05:15 PM
Ms. Abha: Entire day we had been talking about CSR regarding what needs to be done and what the law
says. In India the best initiatives taken by big matured corporates are CSR and the other is diversity. CSR
is the most spoken topic since last year post mandate by law. Diversity in workforce means providing
equal opportunities to work together irrespective the person is male, female, disable, LBGT, etc.
Hello Geetha. Thank you for being present with us here virtually. We have a lot of NGO’s present here.
We were discussing on the current scenario where corporates today hire people today irrespective of
whether they are male, females, LBGT, disables, etc. All that a corporate is looking for is capability and
talent. A candidate should have the skills and talent to achieve the goals is all that matters the most. CSR
and Diversity are the 2 most strategic decisions of any company. Do you think there is a link between
having a diverse work force and CSR? Have you taken a step forward towards CSR or Diversity and why?
Ms. Varsha: I am from HP. We are an MNC company. We have a separate section for social services in
our organization called live in progress. We have human progress, economic progress and
environmental progress. I will talk about human progress because our topic is Diversity. There is a NGO
in USA called Rainbow. They are into advocacy. They see to it that every company has a diverse mixture
in the board and the organization. Their advocacy is so strong and strict that no company will tend to
not follow the norms specified by that to avoid defaming of the company in the market. Not following
their standards will have an adverse impact on the company’s reputation. We believe in having females
in the technology department too. All screws and minor things are made by our minority people and
28
females in order to give them some kind of employment. People say that corporates are not sensitive
towards CSR. Please understand that we are really very sensitive towards CSR.
Mr. Menon: I was in armed forces earlier and now I am sitting here in CSR conference. This is diversity.
Now I am working with this company since 14 years. We have started with the E-Choupal program for
the farmers. From about 40000 villages, we have 4 million farmers to whom we have given a sustainable
job opportunity. Then we work towards people who work in the factories with less education, women
empowerment, etc. we are present in the rural and semi-rural areas for women who are bread earners
there. We have scented sticks industry where we have people from SHG and women from farmer
background. We work for bringing them to equal levels and give them a dignified life to live with. In
India we had various areas which had no rainfalls which led to lack of crop growth. We bring in
technology then like water irrigation, rain water harvesting, etc. we educate farmers with modern
agriculture techniques. We help them increase the yield and earn profits. We also look towards primary
education. Whatever we do now is very less. We all need to do a lot many things for the society. We
cannot hire a lot many disables in one company. But we can surely give them training and development
sessions and get them employed with various other companies.
Ms. Geetha: CSR and diversity are two separate things at IBM. We have recruitment agencies who help
us hire people with certain disabilities. When we referred some disables to other companies, they made
various excuses for not hiring them. So we started working with an NGO call Samarthan to see how
people can be included in the organization. So there is a partnership between the corporate and the
NGO. It does not matter whether we work with an NGO or a corporate, we just need to bring a positive
difference in the society.
The first day ended by Mr. Jasmir Thakur thanking the Speakers, the Delegates and our Sponsors and
Partners.
THANK YOU

Day 2: 3rd Global Conference on CSR- India 2015: 26th August
Welcome to day 2: The Speakers and Delegates were welcomed to the Day 2 of the conference by Mr.
Jasmir Thakur.
Panel 1: Technology for Good: Panelist:

Ms. Varsha Awadhany – Industry, Government & Community Relations Officer-HP
Mr.Umasankar Nistala – MD, Corp & Investment Banking Tech- JPMC
Mr. Navin Jacob Mathew – CSR Head, VP Fianance, Sonata Software
Moderator: Mr. Rajendra Tripathi , CSR Head, Oracle
Timing -10.00-10.45 AM
Mr. Rajendra Tripathi started the topic by stating that the corporates has been responsible for the
contribution for the good of the society even before the law was implemented. After the law it has got
more response than before. He gave the reference of the ancient shloka
‘|Om Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah , Sarve Santu Nir-Aamayaah |

Sarve Bhadraanni Pashyantu , Maa Kashcid-Duhkha-Bhaag-Bhavet |
||Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||’
30
Which acts a guiding force. According to him there are two wheels of a chariot, one being the NGO and
the other being the organizations which have to come together. It’s necessary for the corporates to club
their energies with the NGO’s. Corporates will become the driving force while the NGO becomes the
delivery vehicle. It’s essential to come together and work in great synergy to drive any work be it in field
of education, health, sanitation or the others. As the NGOs are experienced in the grass root while the
corporates have the sense of professionalism. Oracle works with 33 partners for the CSR activities.
Q. How is HP is looking at CSR and their view over it?
Answer: by Ms. Varsha Awadhany: In HP we have 3 wings of progress which are human, environment
and technology. Two initiatives were started last year in regards to the human progress wing. One being
the E-Health centre and the other being the future classroom. In order to bring about health and
education, technology is the key to bring about this change. We bring about the ‘tech’ part in
technology. HP does not partner with the NGO’s, we work directly. We bring about technology for the
good. We do not have tie ups with many NGOs as we have huge funds to deal with, hence we work with
only one or two NGOs which are spread across the country.
Mr. Navin Jacob Mathew: We are a 50Billion dollar company. Our CSR vision and strategy is slightly
different from most of the different organizations. Our CSR vision goes back to our company’s vision
which is think deeper and transform the business for the customers. We primarily use technology and
expertise to empower our partners (NGOs) to give back to the society. The primary things that our
company does for the CSR activity as per the sections based on the Companies Act are:
Heritage, art and culture, Artisans and craftsman, Ecological Balance and Technology and Incubators.
We are primarily working on one project in Karnataka for the deaf and blind. We are working with an
organization which is a non-profit organization which is the Indian National Culture Trust for Art based in
Delhi and they have centres all over the country which works towards the conservation and preservation
for the large heritage monuments of our country. We have built apps for them for these organizations
which should help the normal people and tourists when they visit these sites. On the world Heritage Day
UNESCO had recorded for this commendable application that we had developed for them. The challenge
is to get the right content. We are ready to work with a lot of people and the only difficulty faced is to
find the right people for it.
We believe that the next big thing is that how do we enable the students to come out ideations and
technologies to become the future entrepreneurs that would actually take the world. We have
partnered with NIT, Trichy. We are creating technology incubation centres. We have donated a grand of
1.2 crores to NIIT Trichy to develop incubation centres and develop entrepreneurial skills.
We work with Industry Craftsman Foundation in almost 13-15 states and trained more than 20,000
artisans and craftsman. We have a pool of artisans and there was a need to create a market. We are
creating an E-Commerce market for them to empower them to sell their products in the market.
31
Mr.Umasankar Nistala: Being one of the biggest financial services I can say that the financial services
would come to a standstill without technology. We have 9 billion dollars spent every year for
technology. In our organization CSR activities have been going on for decades. CSR has been a part and
parcel of the company’s culture. The main focus is on the economic empowerment of the people.
The 3 pillars of focus which we work on includes Work Force and Readiness, the second focus was on
economic stability and progress. The next area of focus was local and small businesses to generate more
jobs. We have around 20,000-25,000 employees and we try to leverage our employees as it is not about
giving money for the social cause but to see that how our employees can contribute in giving back to the
society. We believe in helping our local community. We conducted a tree plantation programme by our
employees in the vicinity of our office, this makes them feel good to come and work as they feel good
that they are giving back to the society. We have a program called ‘Technology for social good.’ In this
program we take college students who are looking out for jobs before they pass out. We tell them and
do 24 hours of OD time with them in our premises. Around 140 students come to our office and we
conduct competitions to come up with the best solution possible for the NGOs. We have come up with
solutions 4 in Mumbai and 4 in Bangalore so that the NGOs can benefit. We have a program called
‘Force for Good’ where our employees take the situation and build and make the solution socially viable
for the NGO. We also donate computers in school computer labs. We have partnered with NASCOM to
go across India. In another program of ours, called ‘Teach Technology for Good’, we teach slum kids the
use of computers, MS Office, Basic Surfing so that they can be employable.
Q. Mr. Tripathi questioned: When you say ‘Technology for Good’ in your experience what is something
that you look for in an NGO in HP?
Ans. Ms. Awadhany said that we work on technology for social cause and we work on it same as the
business. We want the NGOs to be efficient and capable as our organization works in a very efficient
way. The NGOs must do their surveys well for the impact assessment and what will be the behavioural
change. We have a level of technology and we expect the same from the NGOs for the ground level
activities.
Q. Mr. Tripathi questioned: How do you measure something which is intangible? How do you measure
the impact and changes in the mind-set?
Answer Mr. Mathew: We are working with NIT, Trichy and we are the 1st private company who has
invested in a technology incubators in an academic institution. We are in the learning curve. It is difficult
to get the right kind of proposal from the students which would really get a business objectives fulfilled.
We understand that it is a new thing and will take time and the impact will not happen overnight, hence
we blame no one for it. We are trying to sow the seeds in the minds of these students so as they can
come with news ideas and innovation, think and plan better and come out with ideas and products
which are commercially viable.
Q. By Mr. Thakur: What challenges do you see in this strategic piece of voluntary towards giving back to
the society?
32
Ans. By Mr. Nistala: We include students and not just the employees in the students program I spoke
about. We include 140 students who worked with us for 24hours so that they have a sense of /We are
tapping in the college students at the time of entering we give them a feedback it’s just not your job but
u have to give back to the community. We give them a field that 140 students in each students that is
240 students who come and work for 24 hours which has an impact on the society. This includes getting
the technology stack ready and start making hoardings. During the 24 hours, there are 200 odd
volunteers of our organization who volunteer from Friday to Sunday. This establishes a strong
connection between the students, employees, NGOs, technology and J.P Morgan. We have a school in
Andheri where we are taking care of 40 students of the slum area.
Question & Answer Round
Q. Hussain (Audience) to Mr. Nistala: What is the platform that JP invites the NGOs to present out NGOs
needs? Could you please tell us when the upcoming activities are so that even we can be a part of it?
Answer: By Mr. Nistala: Large organizations like ours have stringent process and regulations for CSR
activities. However being optimistic he stated that we would find out ways to help fund the NGOs that
are in need and platforms like these, help in discussing these agendas..
Panel 2: Healthy India- A CSR process

Panelist: Mr.Svetlana Pinto-CSR Head, Novartis
Mr. Rishi Pathania-CSR- UPL Group
Moderator: Mr. Jasmir Thakur
Timing: 10.45-11.30 AM
33
Mr.Thakur: As an organization what have you done? What do you plan to do? What can civil society do
in a critical segment like health care? How as a corporate you plan to engage to make India healthy?
Answer .By Ms. Svetlana Pinto. Our organization is involved in CSR way before the act came into picture.
We focus on two major problems. The 1st one is leprosy. India is fighting leprosy for the past 25 years.
Since the last 10 years, Novartis has been a free supplier of drugs for leprosy via WHO. In India the
leprosy rate is approximately 58%. We are in a constant effort trying to rehabilitate the people suffering
from deformities by innovating special kits for them. There are 600 colonies for leprosy in India with no
proper laws. We say it is a disease of today and not a biblical disease. Our strategy is to see how to stop
the spread of this disease. For this we have tied up with ‘National Leprosy Mission’. We are in talks with
Rotary Club of Mumbai and Chicago to join hands to make it history. We are partnering with
government to create more awareness campaigns. The 2nd one is rural health. We run a
community/program Aragua Parivaar is a part of our social business strategy. It has 2 arms. One is the
commercial part of it that concentrates of the business and the other which focuses on the health care
awareness program. Over a period of 4 years we have educated over 17 million people.
Mr. Rishi Pathania: In Gandhi Ashram in Jaipur, the people out there do not need charity but need
support. We look after 6 thematic focus areas like agriculture, health and sanitation. In reference to
Swach Bharat Abhiyaan started by the Prime Minister. Many corporates have come forward for the
same .We try to connect the dots. We try to bring quality and our NGO must bring in awareness. We
should not forget that we need partnership to sustain. It’s important to have a 3 way partnership
(Government, NGO, and Corporates).The government plays the biggest role for any social activity.
Expectations from our partners is what competency they bring on the table and the sustainability of the
initiative.
Mr.Thakur: How would Novartis strategize to engage in rural areas with potentially new partners and
what are the expectations and delivery process?
Ms. Pinto: We started looking at a business point of view so that there is sustainability when we
collaborate with the government so that we can do better. We trained the villagers in sanitation, health,
and educated them with languages which they don’t understand. We started a Rural Health Program,
Health Detection Camps, and Cancer Detection Camps, where we have tied up with NGOs. We also have
tied up with The Indian Cancer Society to help Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Mr. Pathania: We need to see whether we address the cause or the effect. The starting and the ending
point should be different. It’s easy to build a toilet but difficult to check on the daily mechanism.
Mr.Thakur: How to look at resource partnership?
Ms. Pinto: She gave an example of the state government of donation of the mask for the mill workers.
But the concern was that will the workers be wearing the mask and using it. Resource does not mean
only to give money, it’s also about education and awareness and how to leverage it beyond monetary
resources.
34
Mr. Pathania: It is important that the organization or the group of people should have a competency on
working behavioural aspect of the society. End of the day it boils down to adaptation of it. Our
expectations from the partner is competency and expertise that can deliver the end results of a project.
Question and Answer:
Question from Audience: The program of my NGO does not fall under your intervention. I would like to
know whether your organization include me and change your intervention?
Answer .By Ms. Pinto: If the geographical location or theme of your program is not under theme of the
organization then we won’t be able to include. The area of focus should be taken care of. The NGO's
need to do their homework. Also the NGO's must approach different organizations and not just one
organization which are already doing CSR activities.
Mr.Thakur: To engage and partner, the process does takes time. It is not an overnight process. Timely
follow up is required. There also need to be created a meeting place where we talk and discuss these
agendas.
Special Address by Honourable Minister Shri Deepak Kesarkarji- MOS- Ministry of Finance-
Government of Maharashtra.
35
Honourable Minister Shri Deepak Kesarkarji – MOS- Ministry of Finance, Government of Maharashtra
was our special guest and Mr. Jasmir Thakur called upon him to address the audience
The Hon. Minister started of his speech with is concern of rural development in Maharashtra.
He said that 45% of Maharashtra is urbanized .The urbanized population lives in 15% of geography while
85% of population is still rural. He stated that the strength of the Government is that they have the
machinery, while of the Corporates is their skills and that of the NGO's is the dedication. There is no
shortage of funds but the point is how to use them efficiently. I use strongly believe in thinking of
Mahatma Gandhi of giving back to the society. With love you can conquer the world. Technology is very
important for the up lift-ment of the society.
Bringing the Corporates and the NGO's together is the role of the Government. We have come up with
the micro planning for 2 districts namely Chandrapur and Bandarpur. We need to select district which
are weak and are in need. While selecting the districts, we need to select their strengths.
Majority of the Corporates are engaged in the education and hygiene areas of CSR. Poverty is the main
cause for it. It is important to bring people above the poverty line and eradicate poverty. How much you
spend the money is not important but how you spend it wisely is important. He also shared that good
things and people are always supported by others.
What we want from the corporates is that they must come with an open mind. Rather than working
individual, let us work together as a team only then can we win. Eradication of poverty and
empowerment of the people our first target for which we have to be result oriented.
He then concluded by thanking Samabhavana Society to bring us all together on this platform.
Questions and Answer:
Question from audience: There seem to be no cohesion between Government, NGO and the corporate.
Do we envision an apex body for the same?
Answer by Hon Minister: coordination between the Government, NGO and the corporate is very
important. We have our machinery in place, the problem is we are not making use of them. He
requested the corporates to use their expertise as just the donations is not enough and only then can
we then have sustainable work.

PANEL 3: Beyond Impact Area Support- PSU
Panelist: Ms Sonal Desai- CSR Head HPCL
Mr. Raghevendra Rao- ED- HR (Corporate) BEL
Moderated by; Jasmir Thakur
37
Mr. Raghavendra Rao: Public sector has always been a part of CSR. The policy was formalised 4 years
ago. This year we were associated with the Swach Vidhaya programme. For this we had spread across 9
units across 7 states. We had asked our 9 units to identify a village that requires help in the Swachh
Bharat Abhiyan for a long time, not just for a year. We are currently not engaged with any NGO. We
work directly by ourselves. We would partner with an NGO only if they meet the prerequisites.
Mr. Raghavendra: Our focus area is education. We believe in total requirement of education and in
providing a holistic solution for the students. We try to make the dysfunctional functional for them. I
would like to thank Samabhavana Society for organizing this conference.
Questions and Answer:
Q. From the audience: What is your method of working and the challenges faced?
Ans: By Mr. Raghavendra: We conduct surveys and feedbacks. The challenges we face are that the
villages are not prepared to believe that we don't expect anything from them.
Q. From the audience: It is more of a request that there are no separate toilet blocks and clean water
available which is leading to dropout in number of girls from the school.
Ans: By Ms. Sonal: We have made 2500 toilets in different states like Bihar, Orissa. We have engaged in
the school committees to ensure cleanliness in schools as a result of which there has been a rise in 9-
10% rise in attendance of girls in school.
PANEL 4 :Wealthy India-a CSR Process (Financial Inclusion & further)

Panelist: Mr. Sidharth Ramalingam- Senior Vice President-Education –IDFC foundation
Ms.Vidya Shah-CEO-Edelgive Foundation
Timing: 12.30-01.15 PM
38
Ms.Shah: Our focus is on education and women empowerment and how we can integrate parent
companies business into ours. Financial Inclusion is an important part in improving and consolidating
incomes. We are not looking at micro financing intuitions but who understands financial literacy and the
ones who can bring financially awareness.
We work with Rajasthan Sheram Saathi Association (RSSA) to provide financial literacy financial products
mainly for migrated families. The 1st problem these people face is lack of access to financial products.
Hence we started funding with RSSA campaigns. We also introduced the Gullak program for encouraging
saving in the people. We also had started a Mandhesi Program 3 years back for the drought affected in
Maharashtra. This program was only for the women and the by the women. We introduced cash credit
products for the small woman entrepreneurs like vegetable vendors, bangle sellers etc.
Our aim was to find pockets which are absent or invisible to traditional financial institutions in terms of
finance.
Mr. Ramalingam: Financial Inclusion as per say is routine business and so is financial literacy. The major
area of focus are health, education and livelihood. In every district we need to choose replicable
program to change the district which would be an overlap of the above 3.
Q. By Mr. Thakur: What is the uniqueness of community which are out of range? What kind of partner
and uniqueness does your organization desire?
Answer: Ms.Shah: Our programs like with RSSA and Mandhesi are examples of it. The leaders of these
programs are social sector leaders who have emerged out of the community only. Just the
understanding of the community and finance background is not required but the desire to learn and
experiment is essential. We look at the robustness of system and processes from integrity and customer
service prospectus. Holistic understanding of the customer is very important.
Q. By Mr.Thakur: Are you looking forward to engage with more people?
Ans. By Mr. Ramalingam: We do have our technical partner. We want to do as much as we can for the
society. We constantly look at the partners but they need to look at the framework we work in.
Question and Answer:
Q. How is your project different from other financial inclusion programs going on? Are we duplicating
plans and strategies?
Answer: Ms.Shah: Financial inclusion is one element to improve stability. The idea is to provide the
platform. Duplication does happen. Huge population means financial inclusion.
Q. How do you ensure that you are at arm’s length? How do you ensure that you are not promoting your
company’s products by doing CSR?
39
Answer: Ms.Shah: Edelgive has a retail reach in advertising, broking, life insurance and wealth
management. The life insurance have an obligation to sell a certain number of policies to the ultra-poor.
Foundation is intact in helping to bridge the gap. Products have to be tailored.
Panel 5: Backbone of success: Manufacturing and Infrastructure

Panellists: Mr. Upendra Sonttake- Lavasa, HCC, Mr. Sanjay Bhattacharya- Lafarge Holcim Sustainable
Development Team- ACC group, Mr. Umesh Jhawar- VP- Arihant Superstructures.
Moderator: Mr. Yogesh Joshi
Timings: 02.15-03.00PM
Mr. Yogesh Joshi: I would like to tell you all the reason behind how CSR started in India. Way back in
1880, Jamshedji Tata had gone to visit a village. There he had gone to visit a textile and a cotton mill. He
realized that the working conditions in the mills were not good and people had a very low standard of
living.
Even after 125 years or 150 years, we still find the same working conditions in Banaras looms and
various other places. So he decided that as soon as he gets back to India, he will set up his own industrial
unit which was named SWADESHI cotton and textile mill in Nagpur and Kurla. He wrote his son Zorabji
Tata that what comes from the society needs to be given back to the society. So he mentioned that
whether it is school, playgrounds, hospitals, etc. every place should be hygienic and healthy
environment. This is way how the entire concept of CSR started. After the demise of Jamshedji Tata, his
son Zorabji Tata became the chairman of Tata group. He appointed a social scientist and because of
40
Zorabji Tata and his wife, a lot many projects came up in India and the initiatives were taken by the
house of Tata. The concept of bonus, gratuity, benefits to women, etc. had all been introduced by the
house of Tata. Later these things were imposed by law.
Mr. Umesh: CSR is in the blood of all Indians. We believe in charity. We have it engraved in our society
and culture. We truly believe in giving back to the society. Before the law also we used to work towards
CSR and we are proud about it. Infrastructure in India is going to boom and smart cities will come up.
When we earn something we like to give back to the society. Boom in infrastructure does not only
means for urban areas. It is meant for all the people- male, female, LBGT, rural people, etc. so CSR will
take another shape. It will provide various services to the society.
Mr. Sanjay: In India we have Ambuja and ACC together which is all together in 12-14 states in India. We
have divided CSR into 4 areas.
1. Major focus on social development

2. Employment engagement and mobility.
3. Risk reduction.
4. Inclusive business.
Ambuja is 103 years old company. ACC is 80 years old company. We are together into community
development area since 1952. We have there been for long. Our focus area has always been in the areas
of women empowerment, Education, sanitization, livelihood, etc. we focus on all India development.
Q. Why is there a need for law to enforce for doing CSR activities? It should be within the management
of the company. Why enforcement by law then?
A. people will do what they want to do something towards CSR then they will do it. Somethings always
happen well when enforced by law. U need certain guidelines. Even a child watching TV at home needs
guidelines. So law is mandate.
Mr. Yogesh Joshi: I differ a bit. I have seen various domains where development activities are taken up.
It should not be forceful by law as almost all the corporates are willing to contribute towards the
society. But then we also know that all the corporates are not the same. That is why the law is doing
great by enforcing a law of 2% mandate for the corporates. It for bringing the contribution of all the
corporates at the same level. This is why we have the law coming in and professional CSR officers to
work towards CSR.
Mr. Yogesh: Yes there should be a CSR officer because many of the corporates do not know what CSR
actually means. Some do not understand the way CSR amount needs to be spent. A cold drink company
taking up initiative of conserving water in the name of CSR is not correct. Companies indirectly relate
CSR with their business. CSR cannot be related to the business. Business is meant for profits and CSR is
meant for betterment of the society. CSR should be beyond your business motives.
41
I was doing a small research, the result of which put me in a shock. There are 6500 companies listed on
the BSE of which there are 1000 companies which are regularly into trading. 2% profits of these
companies and few more companies, the amount comes around 30000 crores. Given a choice of 30000
crores, do you see the previous year CSR activities to that level of using this big amount? Do you see any
changes in the society or impact of those 30000 crores been spent towards CSR?
Mr. Yogesh Joshi: Impact would be a slow process. The focus towards social development must be right
and strategic. Partnership of corporates and NGO’s would help towards development of the society. I
think it is too early to make judgments whether there is impact or not. There is structured way of doing
CSR.
Mr. Sanjay: We cannot compare before and after changes but what I feel is that we should not do
donations of money. Instead we should provide education so that a person is capable enough to earn for
his livelihood and live a dignified life. You know a country is rated on Human Development Index (HDI). If
you have enough resources for development then the country has a better and higher ranking compared
to other countries. This is where India needs to develop. We should always believe towards social
development. HDI of the country needs to go up. Education has to be given to each and every person.
Infrastructure development of the villages should be done. Employment generation will take place and
HDI ratings would go up. Education and infrastructural development needs to be taken care of. Drainage
system, roads, electricity, water supply, etc. all issues need to be sorted out.
Mr. Yohesh Joshi: The whole nation wants to know that what your CSR activities are for the coming
years.
Mr. Sanjay: Focus on basic education, skill development of labors, preservation of monuments, historical
buildings, to encourage new entrepreneurs, etc.
Mr. Yogesh Joshi: Basic education, health and sanitation, etc. in Israel all the CSR funds are collected and
given to the prime minister and then the spending towards CSR is done by the minister. It is a non-
corrupted process.

Panel 6: Media for Social Causes
Panellists: Mr.Dinesh Kumar-Jharkhand Brand Manager-Brand Marketing- Dainik Bhaskar Group.
Ms. Urvashi Devidayal- Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Moderator: Prakash Reddy- Editor of Corporate Social Focus.
Timings: 03.15-04.00PM
Ms. Urvashi Devidayal: When earthquakes occurred in Nepal, our reporters go there after a month to
see whether all the rehabilitation process is done or not. They follow stories of women, etc.
Mr. Dinesh Kumar: CSR activities in India is been carried out for a long time. All that’s important is
behavioral change. As media we believe in bring about this change.
What happens in India is that people have a tendency of donating old clothes to the people who are
victims of floods or natural calamities or man-made calamities. They have a perception that if they do
not donate then they will be cursed or sent to hell. It is not necessary that all the people who were
victims to the calamity were from poor background. Wearing old and worn clothes of others affects the
minds of the victims. It is my humble request to all the people that kindly donate new clothes. There is a
lot of negativity around. At the time of elections Instead of voting for a party we vote against a party. So
at Dainik Bhaskar what we started is a non-negative Monday. No negative news will be printed in the
newspapers on Monday. Daily reach of newspapers in India is 44 Million per day, which is more than any
other social media. There are 350 news channels on the TV. Their weekly reach is less than that of Dainik
Bhaskar per day. We have a huge media reach. So we started with the initiative of no negative Monday.
43
During the incident at Nepal too we were finding stories for hope and positivity. How many life were
saved. We try to bring out positive impact of a negative event.
In the previous year when there were heavy rainfalls in Haryana, everybody was shouting that the
farmers are dying and also led to economic loss. On the other hand, Haryana would be selling 1.5 lac ton
additional food grain in the market. That is the positive side of rainfalls. Stories of how a postman
created a Facebook page and asked people to donate books. The postman then opened up a library
using the same books. These are the kind of stories we cover. Because of our geographic strength,
reporters get news and stories from all over the country. The whole idea is that people should live more
positive and bringing up more positivity in the society. We started with an ad campaign in Punjab
regarding drive slow. Due to our initiative, the accidents went down by 16% in Punjab and Haryana.
There is enough pressure built on the government to abide rules of accidents and road ethics in Punjab
and Haryana. So newspaper does creates an impact. The only problem is that people think that creating
an application for mobile phones will solve the issues of communication of important news. But the
reality is that maximum part of India is rural and maximum people are illiterate. They are not educated
enough to use applications. Reading newspapers in their local language will help more and prove more
beneficial to the society. The country where schools are proper, 2g is not working properly, etc. in such a
country we talk about Applications. I am a Vodafone and idea network user and trust me I am the most
pissed off user in the country.
75% of the times in the last month I observed that the 3g connections was not working. We forget about
basics and talk about technology as if everybody is going to reach the moon. Huge chunk of the
population are retired people, house wives, etc. they are not even literate enough to access Gmail or
watch a video on YouTube. We have educated around 6000 people till date on basic usage of computer
because people are afraid of using the net.
We conduct a training and learning program of 48 day program which is free of cost in around 37
centers all over India in 14 states. We taught them how a computer operates and of this digital world.
We had retired judges as our students too. We assume they know everything but they don’t. We all
think of big targets and achievements but forget our base. We think of saving tigers and lions but
nobody is bothered to save the sparrows. We work at the grassroots. We need technical professional
and local support from people. Even when we went to Jammu & Kashmir, we took help from the locals
as they knew the area well.
