Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a popular subject of research for the researchers and scholars across the globe. Several types of research have been conducted in past to understand the concept, evolution, motives and benefits of Corporate Social Responsibility in the global, as well as in the Indian context. Corporate Social Responsibility involves "achieving commercial success in ways that honour ethical values and respect people, communities, and the natural environment" (Clark, 2006; Porter & Kramer, 2006).

As per Companies Bill, 2012, Indian government mandates at least two per cent of average net profit of corporate entities for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
