Kartavya Club Events
Corporate Social Responsibility is a management concept where companies and management institutions incorporate the culture of social and environmental concerns in their business operations. It is considered as the way through which a company achieves a balance between its stakeholders’ expectations and economic, environmental and social objectives. Kartavya, The CSR Club of IIM Raipur, is a body of students who strive towards building a nation with corporate ethics. The club encourages and support the students in their initiatives towards the the protection of the environment and betterment of the society.
CSR as a strategic practice is the key to organizational success, because it inculcates corporate ethics and environmental sustainability in the employees. CSR taps into the aspect of human nature that enjoys doing well for society. The human inclination toward doing good is demonstrated by the fact that most people want to work at a company “that is able to connect values and profits.” CSR provides a way for people to contribute to some sort of greater good, either internally or outside of the company. Strategically, this boosts workplace morale, since employees believe that their work doesn’t just help their company, it also leads to the betterment of society.
As a part of Kartavya, students develop a sense of responsibility towards society. At the same time, it inculcates in them the spirit to work in teams and handle difficult situations with ease. Students, through the CSR activities, associate themselves with the society and the issues pertaining to it. This in turn, motivates the future corporates to fight against the prevalent social challenges. This is a substantial value addition to the students, apart from the satisfaction gained by their meaningful societal contribution
