How can a skilling company benefit you in the planning and execution of a CSR strategy?

Corporate houses in India were always engaged in social welfare. They would build houses, schools, and hospitals for their employees, their families, and even for the surrounding communities.

However, corporate social responsibility in India is now legally dictated – governments lay down policies as to how corporates in different earning ranges should spend on their CSR. Top corporates even go on to hire specialists to help them plan, develop, manage and execute CSR programs.

Skilling has become an important area for those involved in CSR – even the present government has advised corporates to spend a significant portion of their CSR spending on skill development programs. This is where skilling & training companies come in the scene.


Skilling & training companies not only help their clients in the formation of their CSR strategies but also help them execute the same. A company can hire one such skill development service provider and lighten the burden on its resources – it no longer needs to invest enormous amounts of efforts and resources to plan out the CSR activities and get bothered about its execution. A skilling & training company might even locate the youth to be skilled and customize the training to better fit their training needs. The youth then can be placed either within the company that sponsored the training program or in some other company or industry.


Skilling youth is a great step for any company. They not only fulfill their CSR commitments, but also contribute to the economic engine of the country. After all, India is going to need millions of more skilled manpower in the coming years.

Why do profitable businesses (which shell out large amounts of money on CSR) need learning and skills development specialists on board?

In the words of a leading learning and skills development company in India, “Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, launched in isolation, not only amount to overhead expenses, but also make it difficult to quantify impact of the CSR programmes, thus promoting distrust amongst stakeholders and further eroding the brand value of the organization.”

It’s therefore important that corporate social responsibility is gelled well with the business imperatives of the corporates. Many corporates find it difficult and look for some specialists. This is exactly where corporate social responsibility companies come into the scene!

A professional corporate social responsibility company in India helps corporates to understand the inside out of the CSR and how they can easily and effectively integrate CSR into their business imperatives and thus make the most out of their CSR spending.

Whether you are a telecom giant or an insurance provider, or an automobile company, you can leverage the expertise of a learning and skills development partner to spend wisely on CSR programmes and quantify the impact of those programmes.

Corporate social responsibility companies will help you throughout the process: from the formation of the CSR strategy to its integration into the business imperatives, to its successful execution. From global brands to PSUs, many companies have got into strategic partnerships with leading learning and skills development companies.

Under these programmes, these corporate social responsibility companies train youth from the unprivileged and economically weaker sections of the society; apart from this, they also invest in education, skill development, gender equality, women empowerment and employment creation.

Now if you too feel like giving edge to your CSR initiatives, partner with a leading learning and skills development company that has good experience in CSR implementation, monitoring and execution.
