Corporate social responsibility aligning with government welfare programmes to target weakest social segments and amplify sanitation and financial inclusion.
The note urges integration of Corporate Social Responsibility with government social welfare programmes to concentrate resources on the weakest social segments, relying on CSR's statutory recognition since 2013. It advocates that CSR funds complement public schemes-illustrated by Jan Dhan Yojana's financial inclusion measures and the societal adoption of the Swachh Bharat sanitation campaign-and calls for public-private collaboration to reduce structural inequality through targeted interventions such as sanitation, insurance, and credit access.
