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

I will go back to  the topic.
Girls education and CSR as defined by the Government: how can the Corporates, as part of their responsibility to the community ,support Higher Education for the Girl child .
The thinking is based on the perception that it is because of lack of financial support most girls dont come to college.To some extent it is true.
But the reasons for it lie beyond money. 
It is the social customs and fears that don't allow a girl child to continue her education.One is the safety of the girl.Years ago ,I remember a  mother telling me 'she will meet boys in the bus and we don't know what can happen'. Second ,she might fall in love with a boy from another caste.
Nothing has changed in these twenty  years I have worked in the villages.If anything ,we have gone horribly retrograde and have lost much of the power the young of my generation fought for and lived by. Fathers commit suicide or murder,brothers kill and the young commit suicide over izzat and caste issues. The victim in this mindlessness is the girl child doomed forever.Especially doomed are the girls who work hard along with their domestic work,score brilliantly and then go into oblivion.
And the bigger constant is the money can be spent on a boy rather than a girl. I am sure many in the forum are going to tell me success stories.Yes there are But the vast majority of the girls know that their life ends at 15 to be married to a man of any age and then grow a family.And of course,money is spent on her marriage-what more do you want?
One of the best measures ever taken to beat this syndrome was in Tamil Nadu.With open universities being recognized for employment,the Government realized should the young complete STD XII or PUC they could go in for higher studies when there was an opportunity. Therefore in 1979 they introduced the Higher Secondary-PUC in schools.It made a dramatic difference to the  girl child because it meant in ages 15-18 she was still in school and therefore the marriageable age extended to 18 from 15.Once 18, a more mature girl child was able to fight better  and most times go to college.A move Karnataka is still struggling with in 2015-16.
So when I seek Corporate money ,I would seek it to help the community develop its mindset. The  by -product will be more girls in college.

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.

Need to give the skilled worker the right place in society and not look down upon him/her.
Once we do that the sector will get the right representation.

Without skills nothing can work. The un-employability of the engineer of manager is as s/he does not have the requisite skills. Those who have are getting multiple offers.

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.....

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?

Dear Bholanath Dutta,

A very good morning to all of you as well as for Bholanath Dutta sir. As I informed you already I read your mails regularly and for management teachers your information is very good and important. I support CSR in our country. But when a term in itself is vague is not waste in supporting that type of term.
My doubts are: Please correct me if I am wrong:

1. CSR has not been defined properly in our country until now. So contributing for that purpose how far is it correct?
2. If I do CSR in my state can it be called as CSR.
3. What type of activities can be called as CSR is there any list. As a lawyer I know pretty well how it is being distorted in the market now a days.
4. Once a company becomes eligible for CSR and again if its profits comes down, does it mean that they need not contribute.
5. How you will audit? Are we having enough accounting mechanisms for social audit?
6. Also when we are promoting CSR are we accepting the defeat of our so called elected democratical governments as it is the primarily responsibility of the government to take care of the society.


Not only Bholanath dutta sir any body could you please contribute for my doubts.

thanks and regards,
amicably,
Vijaya Chandran

​DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand governor KK Paul on Monday directed the state government to ensure that the girls, who are from remote hill areas and belong to unprivileged families, are given subsidized higher education from the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds of private universities in the state.

"So many private universities are coming up in the state and they should give back to the society. If these girls get higher education from the CSR funds, it will change their lives. I am sure this initiative will bring positive change for girl students in the state. Education certainly empowers a person and we intend to empower the girls," the governor said.
