Benefits Of CSR

16. Evolution Of CSR In India
Phase – 1 : In the pre Industrialization period, the main drivers of
Charity were 1) Charity
2) Philanthropy
The 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.

17. Evolution Of CSR In India
Phase – 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.

18. General Values Statement

issues, particularly those relevant to our business. We are

suppliers & beautification efforts.”

19. General Values Statement
EMPLOYEE FOCUS

work and family life. This effort offers advantages to
