A Study on the Effectiveness of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Activities in Promoting Social Welfare in Ahilyanagar City

Abstract This study evaluates the effectiveness of CSR in Ahilyanagar City, Maharashtra, which is a semi-urban industrial center with diverse types of CSR initiatives being implemented in various sectors (education, health care, livelihood, environmental sustainability).
Research for this study was undertaken using primary data collected from 105 samples. The researches employed descriptive or analytical methods such as percentage analysis mean score averages and weighted average ranking. The effectiveness of CSR initiatives was evaluated using Z-testing for one population proportion testing to determine if they improved respondents' quality of life and to assess recipients' perceptions of the effectiveness of CSR initiatives above 50%.
The results of this study indicate that CSR activities provided statistically significant improvement in quality of life to the respondents. In addition, beneficiaries perceive CSR activities to be effective at a level greater than 50%. However, limited outreach for providing CSR services to rural areas and the short-term focus of CSR programs were identified as challenges in CSR delivery. The study contributes empirical evidence that can assist other researchers/workers with assessment of CSR program effectiveness, by providing a replicable framework for conducting assessments of CSR initiatives at a local level.
Keywords Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Social Welfare, Beneficiary Perception, Quality of Life, Ahilyanagar, Section 135 Companies Act 2013, Social Indicators.
