CSR activities in India boost the efforts of various NGOs

With the rapid rise of several problems in society, especially issues related to poverty and lack of education, many individuals and organizations are raring to do something about the situation. Individuals may have a limited scope when it comes to making a big difference but organizations can truly be that beacon of hope for complex causes such as these. A lot of national as well as international non-governmental organizations are working tirelessly in this field, but lately there has been a new player that is making huge difference. The corporate sector is pumping in resources to help causes that appeal to them.

One of the major causes that industries and non-governmental organizations are dedicated towards is development in the rural areas of the country. The difference between the facilities, education, healthcare and infrastructure available in urban and rural areas is extremely wide. This makes the role of the NGO in rural development even more vital and the support that industries are giving is even more required. The task ahead is a difficult one but the good news is that a lot of awareness and support is coming in and that makes the task at least a little bit more achievable.

Now that the awareness from the corporate sector has come in and laws have also been passed that make corporate social responsibility a must, the wheels are turning a lot faster. As money, comes in as a part if CSR activities in India, the fortunes of the rural community are set to change for the better. A lot of NGOs and corporate entities are tying up and performing life changing tasks for the rural areas and a lot of corporate are also getting involved so deeply that they are setting up their own trusts and charities to help bring progress in faster.

A big reason for the great involvement of corporate in social causes could be the laws that make corporate social responsibility a must, but there are several great companies that have been involved in charitable endeavors long before the passing of this law. Along with national and international non governmental organisation, corporate firms have been involved in development due to a strong desire to give back to the people and the land that has been the reason for their great success in the corporate world. This had inspired a great number of industries and organizations to get involved but with the passing of the law, even more have joined in the effort.

Corporate firms are strongly encouraged to spend a percentage of their profit earned on a social cause of their choice and a large number of organizations tend to pick rural development as the goal that they wish to work towards. They recognize the role of NGO in rural development and wish to support these NGOs further in their great work. This gives the people of India a great future to look forward to when it comes to bridging the rural and urban divide that so ails the country today.
