Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), can be described as, the continuous dedication by corporations towards the economic and social development of communities in which they operate. Social responsibility is not a new concept to Indian Corporate bodies. It is the moral obligation to do something for the betterment of others without expecting anything in return. Indian companies have engaged themselves for social cause since their inception irrespective of any laws. After independence the nature of corporate governance has undergone some changes. Today, CSR in India has gone beyond simply charity and donations, and is approached in a more organized fashion. It has become an integral part of the corporate strategy. Companies have CSR teams that create specialised CSR policies, strategies, and goals, as well as finances to support those programmes. Nowadays, maximising a company's overall influence on stakeholders and society is the primary goal of CSR. In India, CSR has gone through several stages. In this essay, we examine how the concept of corporate social responsibility has fundamentally changed over the past ten years in India, as well as the fresh, cutting-edge methods that have been used to apply it.
