Abstract
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India effectively drives social development by funding critical areas like education, healthcare, and rural development, bridging infrastructure gaps, empowering women, promoting environmental sustainability, and aligning with India's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through mandatory spending, leveraging corporate skills for better governance and community self-reliance. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities significantly boost social development by funding education, healthcare, and skill-building, enhancing community well-being, fostering sustainable practices, and bridging societal gaps; this leads to improved living standards, workforce readiness, and environmental protection, creating a positive feedback loop for businesses and society.
