Abstract

State takes responsibility to manage the affairs of its citizens i.e. it comes to the rescue to save the citizens of the country at the times of natural or manmade catastrophe. However, there are obvious limits to the capacities of the state. At the time of external or internal disturbances we need concerted efforts to overcome the situation. In this regard various business houses joined hands with the government and civil society to defeat the evils of the coronavirus. This research has tried to explore how corporations came into the scene with their various efforts like building medical infrastructure and logistics supports such as hospitals, transportation of oxygen, corona kits, and team of doctors etc. Despite being not obligated to work for the pandemic and related rescue programmes they contributed a lot. Therefore the objectives of this paper is to explore the potentials of corporations and to find the ways to motivate the businesses to harness their expertise to help the community at the time of distress beyond their mandatory Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), so that they may remain ready to conquer the unforeseen situations like pandemic.
