About the Programme

CSR in India has come a long way from philanthropy in the form of charity to a regulatory mechanism. The companies in India are governed by Clause 135 of the Companies Act 2013 to perform their CSR activities. The CSR rules have been applicable from fiscal year 2014-15. CSR is rapidly evolving as a new field of study. Large companies are now strategically engaging in development issues as a part of their CSR agenda. The process of responding to the CSR agenda within an organization will require specialists in the field. MACSR will cater to capacity building of this increased demand for trained CSR professionals.
