Indian Agriculture sector continue to remain shabby for the economic growth of India.

  Image Source-Google CSR in India has traveled through different phases, such as community engagement, socially responsible production and socially responsible employee relations. Initially, it was more about philanthropic endeavors that were performed but not deliberated and documented. However, after the CSR ACT 2013, the awareness towards CSR as a management concept is increasing. CSR funds are an investment, and for every investment, it is imperative to measure the returns. The CSR mandate in India brought a cultural change among the Indian businesses by leveraging the expertise of companies for social development initiatives.

Google “ Jai Jawan Jai Kisan ” was the slogan given by our second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1965 at a public gathering to cheer farmers to do their best to increase the production of food grains. The former PM strongly believed that soldiers and farmers are the backbones of Indian society and the nation needs to respect them and take care of their issues. However, this memorable phrase just remained a phrase. Since 1990, the situation of farmers started devastating at a high rate. It was reported that between 1995 and 2014 approx. 2,96,438 farmers committed suicide in India due to their deteriorating condition and the situation is still not under the control.

Together, these seven states accounted for 87.5% of total suicides in the farming sector in th...

It is scary to wake up to news that talks about your city heading towards a Day Zero. Predictions and analysis of the water crisis in Bangalore paints a very grim picture. A recent study by the Down to Earth magazine published by the CSE shows ‘at least 200 cities across the world are facing a severe water crisis, among them Bengaluru, are fast moving towards a situation where taps start running dry.’ The water crisis is not a recent problem, however, right now, India is facing a situation that is remarkably worse than our generations ever faced. As per a report by BBC, Bengaluru is positioned second after Brazil’s Sao Paulo among the 11 global cities that are likely to run out of drinking water. Though the mismanaged use of water for domestic and agriculture are few key reasons for the disaster, there are other evident agents that lead to the water crisis in India. For instance, many Soft drink brands have come to the light for excessive water usage in southern parts of India....
