Status of Corporate Social Responsibility among PSUs in India
This paper, with a narrowed down focus, tries to analyze the status of Indian Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) in the Oil and Power sector and derive meaningful trends and observations concerning the established CSR mechanism of some of the selected companies of this particular sector. It is an attempt to collate the initiatives under the mandatory rules of CSR and try to gauge if the efforts are heading in the right direction. It gives us a glimpse into the CSR policies of Indian Public Sector Undertakings and tries to draw significant inferences out of these findings. This paper does not justify the right and wrong ways to approach the concept of CSR for there is no objective conclusion to its acceptability and applicability.
