Leveraging corporate social responsibility for sustainable development: a study of Indian companies

The objective of the study is to study CSR practices adopted by Indian corporate and its contribution for the sustainable development of Indian economy. The study is based on secondary data taken from the annual reports taken from annual reports of the companies engaged in various activities like Banking, Cement, Construction, Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry and Service Sector. The study suggests that it will bring the revolution in Indian economy if the corporate sector practices CSR whole heartedly and contribute in actual ways on social issues. It could also relieve the government for concentrating on other issues relating to the development of the economy. There is no better way other than socially responsible behaviour to achieve sustainability.
