  In India, the term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is widely prevalent. It tends to focus on what is done with the profits that the private businesses earn. It is an approach towards sustainable and equitable development and focuses on the triple bottom line of economic, environmental, and social performance. In recent years, companies have increasingly centered their CSR endeavors on creating opportunities for social welfare. Some companies might aim to provide free educational services to children, offer supplementary medical care, entrepreneurship skills to the rural population, and financial assistance to the needy. It might seem cumbersome to develop programs without a brisk return on investment that involves long-term investment, but such initiatives deserve significant attention from the companies. A firm now needs to focus on both: experiencing economic prosperity and being good corporate citizens . The organizations have enormous potential to effect change in t...

  'At exactly 11:11 PM, a baby took its first breath in the Jhareja household. By 11.13 PM, the entire family’s faces bore frowns, all their hopes shattered into a million pieces. An atmosphere of gloom and melancholy settled over the entire household. The somber and bleak looks on their faces seemed so distasteful that it seemed like they were in more agony than the time the head of the family had passed away. Udita’s daughter, Kairavi had been born.'   This excerpt has been taken from the 'Imperfect Mortals: A Collection of Short Stories' by Insha Juneja.   Maybe this small excerpt could explain how a girl child is welcomed in India! How can we hope for a better and progressive nation when more than half of our society remains under the shadow of discrimination? To find answers to such questions, we must understand the ocean of difficulties that a girl child faces in her life.   The first challenge they face is the challenge to survive. While numer...

Be it autism and intellectual disability in childhood, adult conditions such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and psychosis or dementia at old age, India is facing a challenge in terms of mental illness. It is no exaggeration to suggest that our country is under a mental health epidemic .   COVID-19 is already taking its toll on the world, causing deaths, illnesses, and economic despair. The Coronavirus has changed how we work, play, and learn. Schools are closed, social interaction is negligible and many people have been asked to work from home. Millions of people have filed for unemployment in the wake of stay-at-home mandates implemented to stop the virus’s spread. Millions of others who are still employed are now working at home, which brings its unique challenges.   The idea of not controlling an employee's time and not seeing them in the office daily feels like a loss of control and power, after all, remote working comes with its own set of difficulties...

  I n the national capital of India, a man was caught on CCTV attacking a dog outside his house.  In the state of Karnataka, a lady smashed 8 innocent puppies. 11 monkeys were brutally killed and dumped near a highway in Rajasthan.  A cow was run over and killed by a vehicle in Chhattisgarh. Wounded horses were used for marriage processions in Uttar Pradesh.  These are examples of some brutal and heinous atrocities against animals. Everyday there are many such cases. But a country which does not care much about murdering people, can never care enough about killing mute animals.    In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 lockdown, there were reports of sightings of various rare species of animals in the streets and on national highways. The absence of human movement and reduced pollution prompted them to roam freely. At the same time, many strays on the roads died due to lack of food and proper care. Just like humans are finding it difficult to survive ...
