Deep Chauhan on 16 Dec 16Given the sheer number and detailed nature of social goals and targets that various International and National Standards like SDGs, Schedule VII of CSR, programmes like the National Health Mission or Total Sanitation etc outline for business responsibility initiatives, it would seem time-efficient to pick critical social gaps and begin CSR interventions on the ground. Company CSRs also have their core interest areas outlined based on their stakeholder interests, founder vision, company CSR policy and so on.
