Answer:
Explanation:
The expenditure on Corporate Social Responsibility ( C.S.R. ) projects in the financial year 2017–18 was 8,365 crores, which included 41 percent spent on education and livelihood; 21 percent on health, eradicating hunger, poverty, and malnutrition, safe drinking water, and sanitation; 13 percent on rural development, and 12 percent on environment and conversation of resources.
More funds are likely to flow into water conservation and saving with the launch of by Government of India in 2019. With a large percentage of funds spent on creating public assets, skill building, and livelihood, the crucial question is: Are these projects sustainable?
The speed and scale at which projects are being implemented in different parts of India make this question pertinent for discussion. A large number of such projects focus on building visible assets/infrastructure with little allocation for community awareness, capacity building of communities, and creation of institutions for maintaining these infrastructures. Even projects on livelihood, rural development, and health do not include interventions on community and engagement. Soon such projects are likely to run out of steam and the situation may look similar to the baseline when the project started.
