Plc. on the Dias, Representatives from the industry, NGOs, service
providers in CSR domain and media partners to that 2nd Rajasthan CSR
summit. Further, he thanked all the partners of the summit to support
this event, in association with Department of Industries, Government of
Rajasthan. He said that India has a long tradition of paternalistic
philanthropy. The concept of helping the poor and disadvantaged was
cited in several ancient literatures.
In the pre-industrialized period philanthropy, religion and charity were
the key drivers of CSR. The term CSR itself came into common use in
the early 1970s. The last decade of the twentieth century witnessed a
shift in focus from charity and traditional philanthropy toward more
direct engagement of business in mainstream development and concern
for disadvantaged groups in the society. During the last few decades,
India, and particularly Rajasthan, has made good economic and
industrial progress across several sectors. At present, we live in an age
of exceptional prosperity, but also appalling inequality around the world.
The relationship between economic growth, human well-being, and the
achievement of a sustainable future has a long and complex intellectual
history. Despite the remarkable growth, we are still struggling to deal
with the problem of inclusive growth, social inequalities, poverty,
income disparity, etc. Today, Industrialization is confined to few states
and cities, and a bulk of rural areas unaffected by industrialization.
There is a huge disparity between our rural and urban India, which
is fortifying the predicaments of our emerging nation. We have rural
India which is steeped in illiteracy, poverty, and hunger; while on the
urban side, we have a literate, rich, glitzy, corporate society.
To move from a developing Nation to a developed Nation an
overall growth of the Society is critical. For a balanced and inclusive
economic growth, it is essential for an economy to focus on the base of
the pyramid; this focus makes it imperative for India as a country, and
hence all of its constituting states to develop a robust “Ecosystem” for
economic and industrial development.
Therefore, now is the time to balance the act between
“sociallylinked-inclusive-economic and industrial growth,” to reduce the
disparity between the two categories of our society and thereby
contributing to the development of the Nation.
In the last decade, CSR has rapidly evolved in India with some
companies focusing on strategic CSR initiatives to contribute toward
nation building. Gradually, the companies in India started focusing on
need-based initiatives aligned with the national priorities such as public
health, education, livelihoods, water conservation and natural resource
management.
Similarly, along with Industrial growth, the Government of Rajasthan
attaches due importance to the welfare activities that will be conducted
for the well-being of its people. In this regard, a need has been felt for
optional utilization of the CSR fund and initiatives, through facilitating
both the Public and Private Sector Companies in relation to carrying out
their CSR activities.
Several welfare activities and projects were undertaken by various
Companies across India and in the State of Rajasthan to address the
socio-economic agenda of the Government.
Commissioner, Industries & Secretary, CSR introduce a scheme
Scholarship Schemes for young underprivileged and talented
aspirants for higher education in the field of Engineering/ Medicine or to
facilitate higher education in IITs/Medical Colleges to deserving students
could be chalked out to ensure selection of only the needy candidates.
This would ensure higher education opportunities to underprivileged and
talented students. And request to corporates to adopt the deserving
students for upliftment of their carrier.
Office of Commissioner industries acquired data of Top Students from
Government schools in stream of Maths and Science from Secondary
Education board of Rajasthan, and identify the deserving students from
that list.
Talking of scarcity of water in the State and Mukhya Mantri Jal
Swawlamban Abhiyan (MJSA), the ambitious campaign launched by
Hon’ble Chief Minister, Commissioner, Industries and Secretary, CSR
enjoined upon all the representatives attending the meeting to liberally
spend in III Phase of MJSA, and send the details of work done so far
& proposed to be done under this campaign to this office.
The State Government has been actively working to create a conducive
environment for private players and implementers (such as NGOs, etc.)
through various initiatives like Mukhya Mantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan,
skill development initiatives, etc.
With an appropriate infusion of knowledge, skill, and technology,
facilitated through strong and promising partnerships amongst
government, private players, civil society and other stakeholder, we will
be able to achieve full potential of our economic growth in sustainable
manner.

conceive the aspects of literacy, education and skill. The solutions on
how
maximum efficacy could be achieved through a holistic ecosystems
approach,
innovations and dynamism were brainstormed by the speakers and
participants. They elaborated the fact that money has not been a
challenge but the main bottleneck is to find the right collaboration.
further added that we need to realize the fact that organizations cannot
solve all the problems
of the society. There is
a need to build the
internal capability to
solve the problems.
they focussed on the
problem of vertical
project and lack of
interconnectedness.
natural owner will have
to pick up the
sustainability of the
project. There is an emergent need to create and validate models
through data measurement and assessment. He further focussed on the
important issue of cynicism which is there in the minds of corporate and
civil society organizations. The need is to realize that they are not
competing with governments but are partners in building up of
integrated, scalable, systemic change of descriptive innovations.
Key Points Highlighted:
1. There would
be serious
money involved
in CSR after
the complete
implementation
of the
provisions
of the
Act and
tangible
outcomes
would
matter.
2. There needs to be a measurable matrix for outcomes of the social
development activities
3. A vibrant ecosystem of third party independent assessment along
with the funding organization assessment matrix needs to be
created
4. The responsibility of businesses is to practice CSR as efficiently as
business
5. There is a need to get right and good quality people on board
6. Co-funding,
understanding
context, creating
opportunities and
joint reporting in
the field of CSR
are very important
