Appreciating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending by the companies in last year, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has exhorted India Inc to expand CSR reach to poor states like Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Bihar and North East region.
She further noted that companies have spent about Rs 13,000 crore last year under CSR and this is very relevant for the development of the hinterland. She listed the states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Delhi where presence of CSR is significant, adding that states like Chattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Bihar also require such support from CSR.
Besides, Nirmala Sitharaman said that the recognition has been given to wealth creators not just for wealth creation but to give back to the community in the name of CSR and added that giving back to community from the justified profit is the spirit of the CSR, which has gained a lot of traction.
