Corporate Social Responsibility in India: A Way Forward for Underprivileged Students

India is among one of the fastest-growing economy of the world and it is supposed to become a $5.0 trillion economy very soon. Businesses are prospering here. The income of people is on the rise. People are living a better life than before. But despite all these facts, there is some bitter fact which needs to be recognized- the rise in the socio-economic gap and income inequality. It is right that the income of people has increased over the last few years but if we go by a recent report that says that India’s 90% wealth is in the hand of 1% of the population. This shows the income disparity in India. Millions of people are still living under poverty in India.

The best way to break this cycle of poverty is through education. It helps overcome inequality, provides development, speeds up social transformations, etc. Government is doing its part to reduce this perennial poverty and so far, millions have been brought out of it. But is the responsibility of corporates also to play their part in the upliftment of downtrodden of society.


CSRL, Center for Social Responsibility and Leadership, is a registered society in Delhi that works in the fields of education for poor and underprivileged students. Their focus is on those students who are talented but lack financial freedom to unleash their talent. CSRL provides a platform for these children to get financial help from corporates under corporate social responsibility in India as enacted by the government.

There are various dimensions of CSRL: 

  • CSR Project Execution
  • CSR Advocacy 
  •  CSR Publications
  • CSR Programs
Through their Super 30 program, they aim to give something back to society, nurturing talent, providing support to underprivileged through education, and make them able to compete for the prestigious colleges and universities in India. They are fulfilling social responsibility in India to uplift the underprivileged.
