Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an approach that contributes to sustainable development by delivering economic, social and environmental benefits for all the stakeholders. Corporates contribute voluntarily to a better society and a cleaner environment through its business activities and its social investment. An attempt has been made to analyze the current trend and status of CSR in Haryana to comprehend its contribution towards inclusive development. A survey of large-scale units in Haryana has been conducted. The findings of this study revealed that corporates in Haryana have a positive attitude towards CSR and the extent of their involvement in CSR activities has improved over time. It is apparent from the survey that large-scale companies have maintained their support for CSR initiatives. Although charity and microfinance registered less important among CSR initiatives, companies are putting effort into integrating CSR with their business strategy and expanding their support for education, healthcare and environmental sustainability initiatives. Greater amount of transparency and standardization may be brought in for CSR reporting by companies by introducing suitable amendments in relevant legislation by regulatory agencies. Government’s support in implementing CSR initiatives will be advantageous for channelizing private and public sector funds for planned development of the nation.
