During the Indian Independence struggle, Mahatma Gandhi devised a shrewd ideological version of the concept of social trusteeship, rooted firmly in the strong religious and social traditions of India. Since then, it was strongly supported by India’s highly segmented society and its essence still prevails in the fast-growing Indian economy. This paper analyses how trusteeship has eventually functioned in the context of the Indian society, and has contributed towards the modern concept of CSR by imbibing social and cultural values within the corporations.
