Abstract:
Nowhere in the world is Corporate Social Responsibility enforced by law by requiring a certain percentage of profits of a company to be spent on specified activities such as eradicating hunger, poverty and malnutrition, promoting preventive healthcare and sanitation, making available safe drinking water etc. India has become the first country in the world to enforce CSR by making provisions in the Companies Act, 2013 which requires companies having specified net worth or turnover or net profit to spend in every financial year at least 2% of average net profits of the company on specified activities such as eradicating hunger, poverty and malnutrition, promoting preventive healthcare and sanitation, making available safe drinking water etc. Socialism by Government of India has not worked. Hence India adopts the experiment of Socialism by corporate.
