Corporate philanthropy is catalytic – only as long as it is directed towards the right regions and challenges. As CSR hit Rs. 40,794 crore in FY2024-25, we are faced with a daunting question: 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐒𝐑 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝?

Despite the growth in flows to Aspirational Districts and high-need states, nearly 70% of corporate philanthropy goes to urban and industrial districts. Redirecting an additional 5% of FY24–25 CSR funding to high-need districts would triple the funding they receive today.
