CSR’s Role in Sustainable Indian Agriculture

India’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives play a pivotal role in addressing agricultural challenges such as climate change and stagnant incomes. Agriculture supports 47% of the population and contributes 16.73% to GDP, making its sustainability critical. Recent CSR trends emphasize environmental goals, supporting projects like water conservation and livelihood enhancements. However, transparency in agricultural CSR funding remains an issue due to inadequate reporting mechanisms. Improved frameworks could better allocate resources, enhancing accountability. Programs like PKVY, MIDH, and agroforestry exemplify effective CSR in agriculture, fostering economic and environmental balance.
