India Inc needs to focus on inclusive growth and should join hands with
the government in its aspirational programs and initiatives, NITI Aayog
Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar said.
The corporates should also look
at bringing small and medium enterprise and migrant workers in the value
chain, thereby generating employment, wealth creation and promoting
growth needed by the country, he said.
In his address at the
virtual national conference on "Resurgence of CSR with Renewed Energy
and Motivation post Pandemic" on Thursday, organised by the National CSR
Network (NCN), Kumar stressed that to sustain 10-12 per cent growth in
the coming year, corporates need to have greater focus on preventive
health, education and nourishment programmes under their CSR mandate.
CSR
is the bridge which can strengthen trust and partnership between the
Government and corporates, he said, appealing the corporates to
introspect and renovate their business strategy.
The NITI Aayog
Vice Chairman said: "There is a need to bring about behavioural change
in the people in maintaining social hygiene and creating a 'Jan Andolan'
(people's movement) to deal with such pandemics in future".
He
also called on corporates to now come forward and do their part for the
frontline workers, who played a major role risking their lives, during
the pandemic.
In his address, D. K. Agarwal, Deputy Director
General (Services), Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), mentioned that,
"BIS in its continuous endeavour is formulating various National
Standards in line with the legislative requirements of the country in
order to address various issues of National importance."
He cited
the BIS initiative in formulating a National Standard on CSR which can
provide a robust CSR framework for a pandemic-resistant society and
serve as a stepping stone for all its stakeholders and organisations in
both public and private sectors who want to implement Companies Act,
2013 in socially responsible manner.
