Enterprise Development and Employability Enhancement: A Case Study on Corporate Social Responsibility Projects by Kohinoor Technical Institute, Mumbai

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expects that the Corporations need to focus beyond earning just profits. Government of India persuades the leading Business Corporations which either have a net worth of Rs. 500 Crore or a turnover of Rs.1000 Crore or a net profit of Rs.5 Crore , to spend at least 2 % of its average net profit during the preceding three financial years on CSR activities. Kohinoor Technical Institute (KTI) as a Non Government Organization (NGO) helps the companies to implement CSR projects in rural and socially underprivileged communities. KTI has enabled a number of corporate organizations to conduct CSR activities related to Education & Skill Development, Healthcare & Sanitation, Rural Development Projects and Environment. This research paper attempts to study the CSR projects conceptualized and implemented by KTI for the leading corporate organizations. By CSR projects, KTI has helped the underprivileged communities in skill training, enterprise development and employability enhancement activities.
