About Prakruthi
Prakruthi is a Bangalore based international not-for-profit organisation working in India and other South Asian countries since 1991.Prakruthi envisages a society where the economic and social divide created by a non-egalitarian system is minimized. In attempting to do this, Prakruthi works with the poor and the marginalized in various sectors of Indian economy such as plantation workers, small and marginal farmers, women, youth and children. We have adopted the strategy of linking the corporate world and communities of people in trying to achieve our stated mission.

Prakruthi’s vision is to empower all, irrespective of barriers and abilities, to decide for themselves a free and holistic life experience and being fully aware of their rights and duties in an enabling environment synergizing human and natural resources.

Prakruthi has actively campaigned for Corporate Social Responsibility with those who manage the coffee, tea, sugarcane and garment industries, and persuaded them to make some room for small growers and workers under their ample umbrellas. Given the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility in Prakruthi’s activities and inthis report, we present a brief summary for the few uninitiated: Corporate Social Responsibility is a concept of business ethics whose time has come, and which, especially after the financial crisis of 2007-2008 that began on Wall Street, is the perfect idea to replace the former ethos of unbridled capitalism that Greed is Good. According to this concept, corporations are responsible not just to their stockholders, but also to their stakeholders: members of society and social groups affected by their decisions. They have an obligation to take into account the impact their actions have on the good of society and of the Planet Earth, and to identify, engage with, and consult with their stakeholders. As more corporations recognize the importance of CSR, and the value of considering not just the company’s financial bottom line, but also the community’s bottom line, the welfare of humanity and of the planet will benefit.
