Re: [MTC Global] Provide higher education to poor girls from CSR funds

Dear All,
Man i s potentially divine and this divinity can be manifested by controlling nature internally and externally. Gratitude is a facet of divinity. Man is born with debts of many , like parents, teachers, friends, society, etc., and is advocated, in the larger interests of human race,  to return it, pay it back  to the concerned stake holder.  It is human (but not simply charity), even animals and all living organisms  follow it. CSR, therefore, is an opportunity to pay back  the debt.

Dear MTC Global Fraternity,

Reflecting on the stand point of Mr. Vijaya Chandran dated 20th July, I wish to make an attempt to provide some clarifications.

CSR stands for Corporate Social Responsibility, as we all know. This is also called, sometimes, Corporate Responsibility in short. 

When we say CSR, most of the people would immediately jump to the concept of charity. In fact, Charity is just one dimension of the many facets of CSR. It appears even those who enacted the law concerning CSR are also mis-led about 

the definition, though the spspirit behind it is appreciable.

CSR shrouds around an array of stakeholder classes -- employees, investors, government, customers, suppliers, business allies, community as a whole cherishing clean environment, society at largre, and even competitors!

Employee class deserves fair wages for fair workload and fair working environment; 

Investors deserve a fair return on investment, not anticipating super-normal profits;

Government, as a stakeholder class, deserves honesty on the part of all concerned in declaration of income and payment of all taxes due;

Customers deserve qualitative goods and services for fair prices or reasonable price for the quality desired;

Business allies deserve good faith on the part of their counterparts;

Suppliers deserve fair prices for 

the goods or services they provide and should 

not be subjected to extortion by way of miserable bargains or procrastination in payments;

Community deserves an unpolluted environment;

Society is characterised by diversity-poor, diseased, physically and mentally challenged, gender-based biases; Society deserves redress based on the views of Keith Davis -- "businesses draw resources from the society; hence they have an obligation to return something to the society." Here are the prrovisions of the CSR Act applicable.

Competitors expect the competition to be responsible, which means that businesses should not design strategies aiming at obliterating their competitors!

So, having appreciated the scope of the concept of CSR, shall we advocate for expansion of the ambit of the Act, or suggest an alternate title to this Act?

I don't know whether I could provide the information sought by Mr. Vijaya Chandran!

I invite more inputs from the members.

I am in full agreement with you .We need skill and we need it urgently and for a million and more youngsters.

Ironically skill and vocational education is married, without the power of divorce ,to poverty and casteism. You see what I am saying? 

I work in the villages so I am speaking ,not from cooked up data,but from real life experiences.

If as an Engineer you can give time and off yourself,help shape the ITIs. Most are 'booth ' bungalows. They  have everything they need but students learn ,not hands on, but from pictures of machinery in their textbooks.Faculty? I wont go that route. They have no responsibility tot eh very poor who join them and need a job at the end   of the day ,not for becoming rich but for their livelihood basics-food,clothing and children's education.n

The  Government did create Centers of Excellence by asking Industry to adopt an ITI based on proximity etc...and it was done in many places.

The  Government funded the program and well,as with NSDC ,funds went to nowhere.End of story.

So a BA Bsc followed  by some DEd might create teachers at least.....

Switzerland has 6,000 Skill Centres

Is their any message for us in India?
Do we want from good educational practices of the rest of the World?

Or do we wish to waste another 70 years of the life of the people of India, as we have done since 1947?

BA and BSC are not useless programs. They are absolutely essential if we shouldn't have a lopsided growth as we have today-all Engineers and Managers and nowhere to go.We need good to great economists;we need the artists and a whole host of others who add value tot eh society.

Unfortunately  skill and vocational have come to represent  the bottom of the pyramid .

I personally know of many CSR funds put to good use and being a great support. Yes there are many organisations that couldnt care less-but individuals int eh organisation give,

It would be like CSR was to be a part of Management institutions-how many will give and how many individuals will give off themselves?
