Not long ago, the prime concern of a business was to make money. A growing understanding of the intricate connections between business and the social structure and how they influence each other has led to the concept of the social responsibilities of a business. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision making and honoring of triple bottom line i.e. profit, people and planet. Practice of CSR is subject to much debate and discussion. Key issue of criticism being: Is being socially responsible sufficient or the focus should now be shifted towards measuring actual contribution to the society. In today’s scenario, CSR does not only include the obligation and accountability to society but also emphasizes on action/activities undertaken by the companies and its outcome and results. This emerging concept which includes all the facets of corporate responsibility i.e. social initiatives, social responsiveness and social performance is known as corporate citizenship. This research paper examines the CSR activities undertaken by Indian companies and determines the extent which true character of corporate citizenship has been adhered to.
