India’s growth story is incomplete without collective social responsibility. Behind every child who goes to school instead of work, every village that gets access to basic healthcare, and every woman who becomes self-reliant through training, there’s a silent partner—the corporate sector. At Nirmala Foundation, we don’t just welcome CSR support—we build real partnerships that bring meaningful change to rural and underprivileged communities.
For over a decade, we’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder with corporates, philanthropists, and local changemakers to turn CSR activities in India into measurable, transparent, and community-driven impact.
Why CSR Projects Are the Backbone of Social Change in India
The Companies Act, 2013 mandates eligible companies to invest at least 2% of their average net profits in Corporate Social Responsibility. But for many organizations, the real challenge isn’t spending the funds—it’s finding the right implementation partner.
A poorly executed CSR program damages more than numbers. It weakens public trust and leaves behind broken promises.
That’s why companies across India trust Nirmala Foundation to carry out their CSR projects in compliance with Schedule VII of the Act—with compassion, transparency, and long-term vision.
