Southasiadisasters.net issue no. 176, October 2018:
AIDMI's publication of Southasiadisasters.net is titled "Investing in Disaster Risk Reduction: Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives in India" focuses on the theme of CSR led projects in India that have had a tremendous impact on the lives of marginalized communities and victims of humanitarian crises.
The emergence of CSR as a major player in India's humanitarian landscape is welcome because it has secured much needed financial resources for activities of social development which were earlier undertaken by cash strapped civil society organizations. CSR has also helped in improving the professionalism in and service delivery of social welfare programmes and projects.
This issue highlights some of the laudable work done by major CSR entities like the HCL Foundation, IBM India Pvt. Ltd., Essel Group, IL&FS Services Ltd, etc. Responding to and planning for disasters and other emergencies has emerged to be a major focus area for CSR. This issue highlights how CSR can be leveraged to build the resilience of at-risk people and communities.
This issue's contents includes: (i) Does CSR Matter to DRR?; (ii) Transformative Interventions of Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited for Community Empowerment; (iii) A Community of Practice for Teacher Professional Learning and Student Learning Resources; (iv) IIFCL Smart Village—Borsimaluguri (Assam); (v) Mobilising Corporate Social Responsibility Across the Country by Magma Fincorp Ltd.; (vi) CSR Activities of Nava Bharat Ventures Ltd.; (vii) Standing with Communities in Need: HCL Foundation's Journey in Capacity Building on Humanitarian Actions, DRR, and Resilience; and (viii) Nurturing Young Seeds: An Initiative of Essel Group.
