CSR scholarship launch Hyderabad calls for corporate role
The minister called on corporate organisations to expand their role in social responsibility. He said CSR should be seen as “Confidence, Support and Rise,” rather than just an obligation.
He stressed that the focus must remain on outcomes rather than expenditure. “The real question is not, ‘How much did we spend?’ but, ‘How many lives did we change?’” he said.
He reiterated that collaborative efforts between government and corporate sector would help widen access to education and opportunities.
Our Government remains committed to building a future where no child leaves education because of poverty and no dream is limited by a lack of opportunity.
