INTRODUCTION

What Is Social Responsibility?

Social responsibility means that businesses, in addition to maximizing shareholder value, must act in a manner
that benefits society, not just the bottom line. Social responsibility has become increasingly important to
investors and consumers who seek investments that not only are profitable but also contribute to the welfare of
society and the environment. While critics have traditionally argued that the basic nature of business does not
consider society as a stakeholder, younger generations are embracing social responsibility and driving change.
Social responsibility in business is commonly known as Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR. For any
company, this responsibility indicates that they acknowledge and appreciate the goals of the society, and
therefore, would support them to achieve these goals. Social responsibility is an ethical framework in which a
person works and cooperates with other people and organizations for the benefit of the community.

An organization can demonstrate social responsibility in several ways, for instance, by donating, encouraging
volunteerism, using ethical hiring procedures, and making changes that benefit the environment.

Social responsibility is an individual responsibility that involves a balance between the economy and the
ecosystem one lives within, and possible trade-offs between economic development, and the welfare of society
and the [Link] responsibility pertains not only to business organizations but also to everyone
whose actions impact the environment. The theory of social responsibility is built on a system of ethics, in
which decisions and actions must be ethically validated before proceeding. If the action or decision causes harm
to society or the environment, then it would be considered to be socially irresponsible.

Moral values that are inherent in society create a distinction between right and wrong. In this way, social
fairness is believed (by most) to be in the “right”, but more frequently than not this “fairness” is absent. Every
individual has a responsibility to act in a manner that is beneficial to society and not solely to the individual.
The theory of social responsibility and ethics applies in both individual and group capacities. It should be
incorporated into daily actions and decisions, particularly ones that will affect other persons and/or the
environment. In the larger group capacity, a code of social responsibility and ethics is applied within said group
as well as during interactions with another group or an individual.

Needs
Through its policies and practices, Christ Deemed to Be University actively promotes its strong commitment to
social responsibility. The guiding concepts of the university's social responsibility program are inclusion,
sustainability, and community involvement.

By introducing eco-friendly practices including trash reduction, energy saving, and water conservation, the
institution hopes to establish a sustainable campus environment. Additionally, it fosters awareness of
environmental concerns and encourages its students and employees to incorporate sustainable practices into
their everyday lives.

The university's social responsibility policy also emphasizes inclusivity. The institution works to foster an
inclusive campus community where diversity is valued and all people are shown respect and dignity. All pupils,
regardless of their background, are given equal opportunity, and social justice and human rights are supported.

A significant emphasis for the institution is community involvement. Through volunteerism, service-learning,
and outreach initiatives, it encourages its faculty and employees to get involved in local communities and
support social advancement. Research and initiatives that tackle social problems and encourage constructive
social change are also supported by the institution.

Overall, Christ Deemed to Be University's social responsibility policy demonstrates its dedication to developing
a campus community that is sustainable, inclusive, and socially responsible and that benefits society.

 Objectives
Students who participate in social programs, activities, and services will demonstrate an understanding of and
commitment to social justice and apply that knowledge to create safe, healthy, equitable, and thriving
communities. When students are well aware that Corporate Social Responsibility will always be a part of their
lives, they become more passionate about it. Many universities and colleges, especially Management Colleges,
have made it mandatory to include Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Student Social Responsibility
(SSR) as a subject. Due to this, students are now moving towards becoming better human beings. By
participating in social activities, they are also opening doors for increased global opportunities and benefits.
They are aware that if they want to grow in life, being a responsible citizen is a must. By being a part of
corporate social activities, the chances of economic development increase as well. This helps them as well as
the place they belong to a great extent.

In raising ethics training among university students, SSR plays a huge role in educating the younger generation
about the importance of caring for the environment. It is undeniable that CSR practice and understanding are
still nascent among the younger generation in our country.

OUR CONTRIBUTION

 Our Contribution to the
Vikas Janhita Trust

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to
happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with
hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”

— Barack Obama

Week 1 : Learning about the NGO

Volunteering to work in a NGO is a humble, transforming, and genuinely emotional experience. Working on
the ngo we comprehended the seriousness of how important parenthood to a child is and how gifted we are to
have parental support; we also understood the physical and mental hardships a woman child must face through
their life all by themselves. During the 2 hours of our 8-week excursion, we took part in a variety of activities
such as providing financial knowledge , understanding the concerns of the people, promoting the ngo and
collecting funds for it .While working with a ngo it provides you an opportunity to influence and empower the
upcoming generation with motivation to strive towards success.

Week 2 : Cleaning
An NGO's cleanup and fundraising efforts can require a lot of balancing. In addition to making sure your
workspace is spotless, you're also mobilizing resources and assistance to keep things moving forward. It
resembles taking care of the organization's heart and soul.

Everyone helped out with the cleanup. It requires a collaborative effort. Our crew contributed to the upkeep of a
clean and orderly workstation while also helping to clean the areas around the NGO, wipe down desks, clear up
common areas, and deal with the occasional spill. Also, everyone benefits from a clean environment since it
raises morale and productivity.

15
Week 3 and 4 : Fund Raising
Let's talk about fundraising now. Isn't it similar to putting on a show? You must create a buzz, grab people's
interest, and persuade them to contribute to your cause in the end. Every effort matters, whether it is through
campaigns, events, or contacting possible donors. Our team solicited donations of Rs. 2000 by going door-to-
door and visiting nearby businesses, explaining about the NGO and the reason behind the fund-raising.

The truth is, though, that it goes beyond money. It's about establishing rapport, encouraging trust, and
demonstrating to others how their contributions matter. Long-term supporters are more likely to remain
engaged when they sense a personal connection to the cause.

Week 5 and 6 : Marketing and Promotion

We as a group recently undertook a project to promote a local non-profit organization (NGO) that focuses on
providing education and resources to underprivileged children in our community. To achieve this, we employed
a range of marketing and promotion techniques, including social media marketing, content marketing, email
marketing, influencer marketing, events and workshops, print and online advertising, and public [Link]
social media marketing, we created accounts for the NGO on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and
Twitter, posting regular updates about their activities, success stories, and upcoming events, engaging with the
community and encouraging people to share the NGO's posts and messages. For content marketing, we created
a blog for the NGO, where we posted articles about the importance of education, the impact of the NGO's work,
and the stories of the children they serve, also creating infographics and videos that showcased the NGO's
mission and impact. For print and online advertising, we created print and online ads that highlighted the
NGO's mission and impact, placing these ads in local newspapers, magazines, and websites that catered to our
target audience. For public relations, we reached out to local media outlets and pitched stories about the NGO's
work and impact, inviting journalists to attend the NGO's events and workshops, and to interview the NGO's
staff and volunteers. Through these marketing and promotion techniques, we were able to significantly increase
the NGO's exposure and attract potential donors and volunteers, building a community of supporters who were
passionate about the NGO's mission and eager to help.

16
Week 7 and 8 : Making records
To make records in an NGO, it is crucial to establish a transparent accounting system that keeps track of
income and expenses. This includes maintaining clear records of where funds come from and how they are used.
NGO's can choose between the cash accounting method or the accrual accounting method for recording
transactions.

Our team had a discussion on this topic with the ngo mentor of Vikas trust and passed on an insightful
knowledge to everyone .

Week 9 and 10 : Financial Knowledge

At the NGO, we began with the fundamentals: debt management, savings, and budgeting. We did this by
simplifying difficult ideas into doable actions that everybody could take. We placed a strong emphasis on the
value of tiny savings and prudent debt management. Then, we delved into the realm of investing, demonstrating
that it's not only for the wealthy and that it can be a means of achieving long-term wealth. We imparted
information on retirement, insurance, and estate planning, emphasising the significance of making future plans.
The youngsters were inspired to never stop learning and were given materials to help our community stay
informed and in control. Since financial literacy is about giving individuals the information and confidence to
take control of their financial well-being, one step at a time, rather than jargon or complex calculations,it's
about equipping people with the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their financial well-being, one
step at a time.

17
Week 11 : Technology
At the NGO, we had a thorough discussion on the importance and many applications of technology in today's
world. We discussed how technology acts as an inspiration for growth, facilitating improved communication,
access to information, and empowerment in a variety of industries. Through interactive demonstrations and
talks, we demonstrated how technology can bridge gaps, stimulate creativity, and drive good change in
education, healthcare, agriculture, and other [Link] help NGO members understand the usage of technology,
engaging activities like beginner technology sessions for basic computer and internet skills, intermediate
technology sessions for enhancing digital proficiency, and hands-on activities using various online tools can be
[Link] teach older adults how to operate mobile and internet devices at an NGO, we can follow a
structured approach that caters to their learning needs. By breaking down the learning process into manageable
steps, we can ensure that older adults feel confident and comfortable using mobile and internet devices,
enabling them to stay connected and engaged with their community.

Week 12 : Distribution of food

During our recent visit to a local non-profit organization (NGO) as a group of students, we actively participated
in the distribution of food to underprivileged individuals. The NGO sources its food supplies from various
contributors, including individual donors, corporate sponsors, grants, and government aid, ensuring a steady
supply of nutritious meals. The distribution process is well-organized, with a focus on efficiency and equitable
allocation to reach the maximum number of beneficiaries. This experience allowed us to understand the
importance of structured food distribution and the impact of meal accessibility on vulnerable communities.
Additionally, we interacted with the NGO's staff and volunteers, who highlighted the significance of careful
planning, hygiene protocols, and resource optimization in ensuring smooth operations. Our engagement with
the distribution team provided us with valuable insights into the challenges and logistics involved in food relief
efforts, reinforcing our appreciation for the dedication and coordination required to combat hunger effectively.

18
Week 13 and 14 : Basic Maths
On the 13th and 14th week of our social responsibility project, we took the decision to provide tuition on
mathematics, as per the students request. Our team decided to take the topic of BODMAS and other math
application like least common multiple (LCM), highest common factor (HCF).

The topics that were tutored in that week are as follows:

• What is BODMAS and how to use its application on an equation. The students were given a few example
problems to solve to make them understand better.

• The students were taught the basic concepts of HCF and LCM. In addition to this a few real-life examples
were given to make them understand how useful these concepts are in a day-to-day basis.

• At the end of the session students were asked to brainstorm and bring out different examples on how they
would put use of the concepts they learnt into their everyday activities. There were also doubt sessions
conducted to make sure that every student understood the concepts.

19
Week 15 :Planting trees
We started by saying hello to the eager kids and the elderly people, who were all keen to change things. It feels
like we're all in this together, there's this hum of excitement in the air. Everyone was fired up and eager to go.

You can't help but notice the concrete jungle surrounding you as we make our way to the planting spot. There is
hardly any greenery to be seen—just roads and skyscrapers. However, that is about to change because of our
team members and the NGO's staff.

Now that we have arrived at our destination, let's get started. We selected a lovely location for your tree, dug a
hole, and carefully placed the plant saplings. After that, we watered it after covering the roots with soil

You can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction after planting each tree. One tree at a time, it seems like you are
making your mark on the city

You stand back and appreciate all of your hard work as the day draws to an end and the sun begins to set. You
feel proud when you see those recently planted trees because you know you've contributed to making the city a
greener, healthier place to live. You're eager to repeat the entire process the next time.
