Panel Discussion on Boosting Rural Livelihoods in India through CSR Funds: Insights from Esteemed Panelists


HYDERABAD: On 9th January 2023, a panel discussion on “Social Capital of India: How CSR Funds can Boost Rural Livelihoods in India” was held with esteemed panelists including Amarjeet Sinha, IAS(Retd.) Member PSEB and Former Advisor PMO, Anu Mehta, Head of CSR at Honda Cars India Ltd, Rekha Srinivasan, CEO of United Way of Hyderabad, and Rajnikanth Ivaturi, Director of EQUIPPP Social Impact Technologies Ltd.

In brief, EQUIPPP continues to promote the importance of social impact investing and sustainable development through its initiatives and events. The organization’s efforts to bring together experts and thought leaders in the field to discuss pressing social and environmental issues are commendable and will undoubtedly contribute to the growth of the social impact investing industry.

The panel discussion provided valuable insights on how CSR funds can be used to boost rural livelihoods in India and the importance of collaboration between the professional sector and the government, as well as the role of technology in CSR.

Enhancing Rural Livelihoods through CSR Funds

As the focus on improving the social state of the country has increased in recent years, and contributions from CSR funding and donations have grown, there is still a question mark over the development of rural livelihoods. To address this issue, EQUIPPP held a second panel discussion to discuss how “CSR Funds can Boost Rural Livelihoods in India” with a panel of experts on an online platform, on Monday, i.e., 9th January 2023.

Rekha Srinivasan

Rekha Srinivasan, CEO of United Way of Hyderabad and a seasoned professional in the social sector, discussed the role of NPOs and NGOs in poverty alleviation and the impact of CSRs on rural livelihoods. She highlighted United Way’s role as a facilitator and capacity builder between government, donors, and other nonprofits. By analyzing data at a large scale, they are able to assess the impact of their efforts and promote sustainable growth. Ms. Srinivasan also noted the positive developments in donor and beneficiary roles, citing the advancement of Telangana’s education sector through technology and STEM education. She emphasized the importance of scaling efforts and emphasized that experienced CSRs can contribute through their expertise.

Fostering cross-sector collaborations

The speakers ended on a positive note, expressing their optimism about the potential of CSR funds to enhance rural livelihoods in India. They highlighted the role of organizations like EQUIPPP, which aim to foster cross-sector collaborations and strengthen Public Private Partnerships by collaborating with local governments, policymakers, CSR organizations, and nonprofits in the social impact sphere. These organizations are well-positioned to drive improvements in livelihoods.

Past Events

EQUIPPP held its first panel discussion in the “Social Capital of India” series, where a discussion on how governments and CSR agencies can work together for national building was held with Dr Bhaskar Chatterjee IAS (Retd.) and Reny Wilfred IAS. The panel discussion focused on how CSR can be used as a tool for national development and the importance of collaboration between the government and the private sector in addressing social and environmental issues.

As the talk of improvement of the social state of the country has increased exponentially in the past decade and the contributions from CSR funding and donations have parallelly grown, a question mark still hangs over the development of rural livelihoods.

Book on Social Value Investing

EQUIPPP Foundation, has launched the book titled “Social Value Investing,” written by Columbia University professors William Eimicke and Howard Buffet. The book, published by Columbia University Press, has gotten favourable reviews from important figures such as Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Michael Bloomberg.

The best-selling book delves into the notion of social value investment, which is a type of impact investing that focuses on delivering demonstrable social and environmental effect in addition to financial gains. It demonstrates how social value investing may be utilised to address critical global issues including poverty, inequality, and environmental damage.

“Large corporations have explored natural resources in India through public-private partnerships (PPP). Similarly, small and medium-sized PPPs can be discussed via internet forums such as EQUIPPP. The Government of India’s concept for a social stock exchange is a wise one ” Prof. William Eimicke stated.
