CSR Compendium : Showcasing Inspiring Snapshots of Impactful CSR Projects in India by ICC – Consultivo
This ICC Consultivo joint publication CSR Compendium 2021 – Snapshots of selected CSR projects in India has been published during the event – CSR Connect 2021.
About the Report
Corporations worldwide are going through drastic turmoil and changes. In India, social responsibility spending for companies is not going to be the same with the recent amendments to CSR rules, the increasing difficulty in managing coronavirus waves and the reduced corporate performance due to the pandemic.
CSR project expenditure on education itself has been reduced by 8.3% in FY20. The pandemic has radically affected company profitability, which has impacted overall budget of CSR projects consequently.
The top three thematic areas are education, health and rural development which receive maximum funding. Indian companies are trying to strike a balance between emerging health care requirements due to pandemics and the long term social focus areas.
At this juncture, ICC conducts the CSR Connect to showcase, discuss and improve the bottlenecks in the development sector. Consultivo is pleased to partner with Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) for the “CSR Connect” – A Virtual Exposition for Social Sector Organisations to showcase their Projects.

Let's discuss
Can we use this CSR Compendium for CSR projects of any Indian Companies?
These 16 CSR projects listed in this CSR Compendium are handpicked from many CSR activities of Indian Companies. They are selected because these projects or initiatives have been designed carefully to create social impact and most of them are self sustainable.
The CSR activities used some innovative approaches and produced output, outcome and impact in most cases.
Thus, it’s intended that other organisations who are working with development projects or CSR projects may take inputs and customise them as per their requirements.
