| dc.description | Corporate Social Responsibility has been an uprising issue for the last two
decades. It has been developed from US and Europe simultaneously over series of
irresponsible activities from Multinationalcompanies. CSR has been defined by
many groups. Although they all bear similar meanings relating to taking
responsibilities of the society as a business entity, its definition has been getting
wider from a traditional point of view of philanthropy and volunteerism to doing the
business in a responsible way. Again, every new business firm has to work under
some social environment that is known as a society and as a good corporate
entrepreneur, one has to be responsible for the society where their firm is operating.
Helping the society by means of preserving the environment, minimizing the
wastage of natural resources, helping the needful, conducting educational camps,
promoting IT education, running schools/NGO’s, recycling of products, offering
counseling sessions, conducting awareness programs regarding the different
diseases. All these types of activities constitute corporate social responsibility
practices or initiatives, which help the society, inspiring the lives of the
underprivileged and lend a hand in the upliftment of the society. If every business
firm starts taking initiatives of CSR practices, this planet will be a marvelous place
to live.
CSR responsibilities or initiatives are very wide. Enormous amount of effort is
required for the association between the CSR initiatives taken up and the society at a
glance. A wealth of literature has been published on CSR over the years, many
containing their own definitions of CSR and associated concepts have been
undertaken (Blomback and Wigren, Muller and Kolk). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Ethics, responsibility and social responsiveness have become significant themes
in research and the public domain. They are discussed under labels such as the
ethical economy, sustainability, fair trade, corporate citizenship and more generally
as Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR and it can be regarded as a corporate
attempt to institutionalize ethics. CSR typically stands for corporate responses to
ethical, environmental and social issues. Indian businesses have a long tradition of
engaging in philanthropic and community programs and entrepreneurs today are
effectively using these principles of social-business. In India, public sector
enterprises have taken a lot of CSR initiatives which have met with varying needs of
the society. The present study has made an attempt to understand the status of CSR
initiatives and practices made by Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprises
(CPSEs) in India by measuring their level of CSR disclosure. For this, an original
Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure Index for Navratna Central Public
Sector Enterprises (CSRDI – NRCPSE)) was developed and used. The required data
for the period of five years from 2010-2011 to 2014-15 were collected from the
annual reports of Navratna companies using content analysis. It also finds the yearwise, company-wise and Indices-wise differences in the CSR Disclosures of
