Abstract

Corporate social responsibility is now mandatory for the companies and hence it has started applying innovative CSR models, which helped in complying legal aspects, earns good will and certificate of ethical behaviour by the larger society for direct benefit given to community and society at large and leveraging benefit for the company as well. Though some companies have a good record of CSR activities and on broader terms undertaken important initiatives earning accolades from outer world, yet at micro level some sections are left behind and they require policy and planning intervention. This gap can be fulfilled by collaboration and partnership with social enterprises which require corporate funds and investment for sustaining and scalability.
