Abstract
Though a large number of SMEs
have been engaged in socially
relevant activities which are beyond
what could be considered as
their immediate business pursuits,
the debate on CSR as also the promotional
instruments has remained
somewhat skewed towards
the large scale sector in
India. Most of the SMEs being
anchored in towns and villages or
in the remote areas they have considerable
adaptability to the local
settings, exposure to local
problems and also access to local
resources. They, thus, are eminently
suited to pursue CSR. This
paper summarises the major findings
of five case studies on the
best CSR practices by Indian
SMEs prepared by a team of researchers
from Shri Ram Centre
for Industrial Relations &Human
Resources, New Delhi.
