Abstract
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities in Rajasthan's small sector (Small and Medium Enterprises, or SMEs) provide significant benefits, including enhanced reputation, improved access to markets and finance, and increased employee retention. While most formal CSR funding in the state comes from large corporations, SMEs often engage in "silent social responsibility," which contributes to both community development and business growth despite challenges like limited resources.
CSR in Rajasthan involves government platforms like the Environment Portal to guide corporate spending on projects in education, health, environment (water, energy), and livelihoods, with industries like cement leading in sustainability, focusing on community development and meeting legal mandates, while research highlights trends in integrating CSR with business strategy for inclusive growth, addressing local issues like 'Save the Girl Child', and improving stakeholder collaboration.
