CSR has made a paradigm shift in modern digital India and the corporate sector has witnessed an exponential change in the CSR ecosystem. CSR has been contributing in manifold ways in contributing towards an equitable and inclusive society. We at India CSR Network have been focused at evolving the overall strategic and operational orientations of the CSR stakeholders to inspire them to achieve new benchmarks of excellence in the CSR domain.

CSR Enhancing Brand Image and Reputation

It has been globally experienced and empirically proven that CSR has been adding value to the brand image and reputation of the organization. Corporates and the government functionaries are working together towards building a better and brighter India by leveraging the challenges and opportunities in the CSR domain.

Transforming Lives in Villages

The CSR domain has now been in the limelight for more positive reasons. The companies have been working wholeheartedly towards transforming the life and lifestyle of the people living in the villages in the domain of health, sanitation, education, skill development, and various other allied areas. This has helped the citizens living in the villages located near the organization to transform their overall way of managing their life.

Stakeholders’ Contribution to Society

CSR has been one of the best modes of giving back to the society by the various stakeholders. The CSR mission has caught new momentum in India and more and more corporate houses are enhancing their focus and emphasis on the CSR domain and its associated brand building initiatives.

The corporates have now started working on developing and evolving the strategic CSR Planning, implementation, and control for maximizing the overall impact of the CSR initiatives. The summit aims at evolving new models of excellence in the CSR domain to take Indian CSR stakeholders to outperform and outshine their global counterparts. India CSR Network has evolved as a Think Tank organization in the domain of CSR by providing the companies a holistic roadmap and operational plan.
