Abstract: Women are at the foundation of every development process, their ability to work, give, and nurture deserves special recognition. Traditional Indian culture has been preserved by women for millennia however the state of women has deteriorated throughout history. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is one of the most impactful social impact policies in documented history, and among the leading ways of making a positive social impact on the lives of women to reverse this deterioration. Corporations can positively impact women’s position in India and take effective steps to empower them through targeted CSR policies. India has a long standing history of CSR having an impact on women particularly their literacy rates. This paper researches upon and seeks to understand the role played by such relevant CSR policies on the lives of women in India.
