India's economic growth post liberalisation has seen tremendous increase. At the same time, the polarisation of Indian society on economic and social parameters has never been sharper. The inability of vast sections of Indian society to take advantage of the economic opportunities on account of their multiple vulnerabilities has developed a context within which poverty and hunger are likely to become the norm rather than exception. The present paper argues that the CSR efforts of the corporate are likely to remain cosmetic in nature unless there is a focus and definite direction to these initiatives. While the prevailing texture and flavour of CSR in India is heavily influenced by CSR in the West, the CSR in India will have to be ischolar_mained in the realities of social life and deal with issues of vulnerabilities and marginalisation.Keywords

CSR in India is taking shape in a specific context. An increasing role of private sector in all aspects of life and globalisation of economy have their share in the spread of present form of CSR in India. There is thus an increasing concern and debate on the role of CSR. In the light of above, the paper takes a critical look at the role of CSR and the contribution that it may make in the context of development in India. The critique is built by positioning the available literature on the major stakeholders in CSR-the state, corporate, NGOs and communities.Keywords
