Business and Community is a historical narrative which also highlights emerging critical issues and the achievements as well as deficits of Indian CSR. Its objectives are threefold: To enhance public knowledge, understanding and appreciation of what Indian business has contributed to society To enthuse the business community as a whole, especially the younger generation, by highlighting exemplary individuals/companies in the history of Indian CSR To identify the factors which inhibit or encourage CSR so as to enable business and government to take appropriate action Written in a simple, non-jargonistic language, it is easy to understand without being simplistic. Its extensive bibliography will be useful for further research.
