Keywords:
CSR, corporations, responsibility, social, programsAbstract
Corporate social responsibility is not a new term anymore; it has been gaining importance worldwide. The reason behind this is the growing awareness amongst corporations regarding their responsibility towards the society and the need to give back to the society what we get from it. There are many corporations in India and abroad which have been actively contributing towards the CSR and have been gaining importance and goodwill across the world. There is a need to understand the importance of CSR and create awareness amongst the other corporations which are not contributing to it to take necessary steps and actions to get more involved into CSR practices.
