NEW DELHI (India CSR)– Addressing the critical gap in equitable development, AROH Foundation is set to host a high-level CSR Summit on March 16, 2026, at the India International Centre (IIC). Under the theme “Aligning for the Last-Mile Impact: Community | Collaboration | Convergence,” the event aims to redirect India’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) focus toward the nation’s most neglected regions.
Despite India’s economic strides, CSR spending remains heavily concentrated in urban and industrial hubs. Tribal belts, border districts, and remote rural areas continue to face “last-mile” challenges, including fragile livelihoods and poor infrastructure. Leveraging over two decades of field experience, AROH Foundation is convening government officials, NITI Aayog representatives, PSUs, and corporate leaders to bridge this divide, the foundation said.
The summit will serve as a strategic platform to align CSR initiatives with national priorities, ensuring that private investment supplements public schemes effectively. Key discussions will focus on reducing resource duplication and creating operational frameworks for difficult terrains. By fostering a “Community-Collaboration-Convergence” model, the summit seeks to transform fragmented philanthropy into a sustainable, ecosystem-based approach for India’s unreached populations.
