With 2% limit of CSR, the eligible corporates’ involvement with CSR activities is mostly through their partners NGOs and the like and therefore, it should be raised to a level of 10% to enlisting involvement of top management so that actual results follow with the objectives of corporate social responsibilities to uplift India and its vulnerable society and the landscape both economically and social, he said.

With the raised limit of CSR, the humanity would also be better served, concluded Dr. Khorakiwala.
