We boast about CSR being a cog in the wheel of development by the corporate giants and the huge private investors but ,have you ever thought what each and every one of you can do as a responsible citizen towards the well being of the Society?.
Well first to start off , I am going to introduce you what is CSR-Corporate Social Responsibility.This 3 letter word means that the mighty corporates(reputed) should shell out at least 2% of their earned profits over (3 years)as a payback(to the society) for the resources they have been using of the country like land,water etc.Rather these resources could have been used only as a profit motive or tax benefit by the govt. if it had a monopoly over it.
It's completely true that nobody can compel the private bodies to abide by the 2% thing or making a better society to live in,It should come from within and as a moral suasion for the company itself.To give back to those people who can't take care of themselves.Now do you think this moral suasion by the govt. would help build up a greater and better society,the answer is we can't necessarily say.Because the responsibility is, as a whole the innate duty of each and every citizen.You must be jeopardized that how can a mediocre citizen help to build up a better society? Never mind its better late then never actually.One of the methods by which you can start contributing as a Responsible Citizen is,abiding by the rule and help others mandate it as well.
I know writing a blog is easy and implementing something is somewhat difficult,which the govt has been trying to do since 1950's.
Interestingly,what i found the govt was lacking in was motivation or incentive for the people.|Incentive|. what i am suggesting is little solution here!.
Every country wants to have a civilized society with all abiding by rules,serene traffic,clean cities,lesser crimes,gender equality,career opportunities,health benefits and other miscellaneous facilities.I can assure not all but at least 80% of these methods can be implemented by an incentive method. Let me show you How.
Government can launch a Social Responsibility holding company like it launched a Swachch Bharat Abhiyaan recently where, the company will act as the controller of the program,where there shall be product to be sold off by the govt. i.e "Eco friendly products", where people will buy to become conscious of their environment and its preservation.
Secondly,each and every person who starts with this activity of buying the Eco friendly product made in India from the govt will be enrolled as a Socially Responsible citizen,and will be given points each time he does a Social task he will be awarded.
the social tasks can include right from the menial tasks like-Stopping in the traffic lights, awaring people of their social responsibility ,helping the needy ,lodging an FIR for the needy,helping women in distress,helping the desolated children in any way one can contribute he will be awarded points once he logs in through his phone.All the details of tasks will be provided on his phone he just has to feed them in.
Next ,those persons having the highest points weekly shall be awarded block wise with recognition titles and small gifts,remember here the popularity to do something for the society is important.This job can be done by a Mayor.
This small step could create a cascading effect in spreading the word of social awareness and people would be more responsible to their society itself,it will help for the greater good.
The time has come for India ti grow to advance to the next step and show the world that we are also a society of people with diverse culture,religion,beliefs and race but we are united to stay in a cohesive society by helping each other.This method can work for those atleast who need motivation for this noble cause.
And yes the responsibility comes from within innate.We are emotional for our motherland aren't we.
Jai Hind!!
