The business environment has Undergone vast changes in the recent years in terms of both the nature of competition and the Wave of globalization that has been sweeping across markets.

India‘s recent economic progress has not only increased pressure on the environment, but also generated social tension by increasing the gap between India‘s middle class and the poor. Consequently, it has become even more important for corporations to consider their broader impact on society.

What are the approaches adopted for CSR as business practice? How companies address risks and opportunities relating to CSR Practices in India?
