CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: A GENDER PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Companies in India are required to understand the constitutional mandate of social justice and to act in harmony with it. For such corporate social responsibilities, the companies traditionally integrate the constitutional morality and the concept of social justice with the economic growth and business activities. A comprehensive legal framework under the Companies Act of 2013 along-with the
Companies (CSR) Policy Rules of 2014, obligates the companies to understand their social responsibilities and indulge into the activities related thereto, amongst which, there is a locus of responsibility towards gender education, employment and empowerment.
