Vulnerabilities and Social Responsibility in India: Possibilities, Opportunities and Limits

India’s economic growth post liberalisation has seen tremendous increase. At the same time, the polarisation of Indian society on economic and social parameters has never been sharper. The inability of vast sections of Indian society to take advantage of the economic opportunities on account of their multiple vulnerabilities has developed a context within which poverty and hunger are likely to become the norm rather than exception. The present paper argues that the CSR efforts of the corporate are likely to remain cosmetic in nature unless there is a focus and definite direction to these initiatives. While the prevailing texture and flavour of CSR in India is heavily influenced by CSR in the West, the CSR in India will have to be rooted in the realities of social life and deal with issues of vulnerabilities and marginalisation.

CSR an Indian Perspective: A Review

Corporate social responsibility is not a new subject now in India. With regard to corporate social responsibility India has secured a prominent place in the world corporate ladder. This article looks to critically understand the nature of corporate social responsibility in India. Corporate social responsibility practices in India sets a pragmatic level of grassroots growth through coalition and partnerships with sustainable progress approaches. In spite of a real awakening, lack of understanding, inadequately trained personnel, non availability of specific and authentic data and lack of information on the type of corporate social responsibility activities have acted as barriers to know the effectiveness of corporate social responsibility activities in India. The new proposed company bill that is yet to be passed has these new measures incorporated into it. This has removed the weakness that the old companies act of 1956 in the area of corporate social responsibility activities. All over in western corporate sectors, corporate social responsibility has a new meaning. Should the companies follow corporate social responsibility and spend compulsorily is a policy decision that is to be determined by the government. These decisions should be made by keeping national interests, social welfare as prime criteria.

“My Country’s Future”: A Culture-Centered Interrogation of Corporate Social Responsibility in India

Companies operating and located in emerging economy nations routinely couch their corporate social responsibility (CSR) work in nation-building terms. In this article, I focus on the Indian context and critically examine mainstream CSR discourse from the perspective of the culture-centered approach (CCA). Accordingly, five main themes of CSR stand out: nation-building facade, underlying neoliberal logics, CSR as voluntary, CSR as synergetic, and a clear urban bias. Next, I outline a CCA-inspired CSR framework that allows corporate responsibility to be re-claimed and re-framed by subaltern communities of interest. I identify such resistive openings via interrogations of culture (I focus on oft-cited Gandhian ethics here), structure (State policy, organizational strategy, and global/local flows), and agency (subaltern reframing of institutional responsibility, engagement with alternative modes of agency, and deconstructive vigilance).

A Review of Corporate Social Responsibility in India

Critiques argue that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a North-led agenda with narrow focus. Bimal Arora and Ravi Puranik apply a development-oriented framework to contextualize CSR to structural adjustments-related macro socio-economic issues relevant to the developing countries, with a focus on CSR in India. They review contemporary CSR trends in India concluding that although the corporate sector in India benefited immensely from liberalization and privatization processes, its transition from philanthropic mindsets to CSR has been lagging behind its impressive financial growth.
