Corporate Social Responsibility: Role of HR

This article traces the historical journey of social responsibility and governance in India. The author argues that for hundreds of years social issues of hygiene, mass education and healthcare have not been addressed by our rulers. Education & Health facilities were available but accessible to only a few. Social issues have remained the same. However, the concept of social responsibility has evolved over time. Today the Government and corporates have a significant role to play and in particular the HR function can shape the external and internal environment.
